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.

The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly

I had tried Kaspersky a long time ago. I think it is available only in India. I don't know for sure. I have used that one for a couple of years, but I didn't like it, and that is the only reason I went back to Norton. Kaspersky was not safeguarding me in all aspects. I had seen some loopholes in the tool, so that is the only reason I went for Norton. The only thing I like about Kaspersky is that it supports the mobile version.

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

Pros

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The performance is fine."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."

"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."

"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."

"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."

"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

"The solution has good performance."

"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The updates must be less frequent."

"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."

"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."

"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."

"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"There's a need for enhanced security measures."

"The tool's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"User management could be improved."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"This is an expensive solution."
