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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"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."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

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

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

"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 performance is fine."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"The solution installs very easily."

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by providing hard disk encryption."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

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

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

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

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

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

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

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

"The updates must be less frequent."

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

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

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

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

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

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The price is fairly acceptable."

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

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

"The solution is cost-effective."

"The tool has a yearly licensing."
