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.

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

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that they have the lightest agent, as it is only six MBs, installs in a matter of seconds, is very lightweight, and has a very minimal, negligible performance impact on the machine and endpoints."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."
"Low performance requirements."
"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
 

Cons

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"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."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"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 has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The pricing is high."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The license isn't expensive."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"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."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
