Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Remote access has become seamless and secure while deployment remains simple for our users
Performance could be improved today. People are now moving toward SASE, which stands for Secure Access, Secure Edge Solution. Fortinet also has that offering, which would be easier since it operates through the cloud, acting as a first line of defense. When the user connects to the internet, they connect to the cloud first for posture assessment and monitoring before connecting to the outside world. The impact is significant because nowadays people are adopting SASE. During COVID time, many users were trying to connect back to their office, causing the performance or CPU utilization of the firewall to increase tremendously, which slowed down performance. I have not worked with endpoint telemetry in Fortinet FortiClient that could have been helpful for threat mitigation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"If having a fancy system is not important to the person, but he is simply looking for a workable and stable solution, then FortiGate is the way to go."
"It’s really easy to use."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"It is completely user-friendly and less time-consuming, and users can improve their production time greatly."
"We haven't had any stability issues or viruses since we started using FortiClient."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"This solution allows developers and programmers to connect endpoint users with security."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"The price could be a little lower."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"We were having glitches, bugs, and sometimes crashes."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"We are using the free version of this product."
"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."
"It is a yearly subscription license. I don't see a problem with the pricing. Resellers add their markup and then give it to us, but I don't see that as a major challenge. It is fine."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
