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.

Provides a secure and hassle-free environment

One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling. The notifications urging me to buy additional services, like dark web monitoring or a secure browser, can be overwhelming. It feels like they are trying to sell me more than I actually need. I would prefer a more straightforward approach where essential features are included in the base license without constant prompts to purchase extras. While notifications about actions taken for my security are good, they could be more informative, letting me know exactly what they did to protect me without the upsell pitches. Simplifying the user experience and providing clearer information about the actions taken would make Norton 360 more user-friendly for me.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has great threat detection capabilities."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"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."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The solution has good performance."

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

"The performance is fine."

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

"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

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

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The convenience has been great."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The solution is stable."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"Product might have some bugs."

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

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

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

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

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

"The updates must be less frequent."

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

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

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"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."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The support offered by the tool 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 solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

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

"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."
