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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The performance is fine."

"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."

"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 the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."

"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

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

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

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

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"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."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

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

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The updates must be less frequent."

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

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

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

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

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

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

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

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"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 solution needs to improve stability."

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

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

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

"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."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."

"The tool has a yearly licensing."

"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."

"The solution is cost-effective."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
