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.

Has consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support
A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Overall, the solution is stable."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The solution has this very useful rollback feature, in which even if the system is infected by the worst malware or ransomware or anything, your data won't be lost."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"SonicWall Capture Client is the best endpoint security product I've ever used."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
 

Cons

"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."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"We weren't very happy with the product itself and therefore don't know if it is worth it to spend the money we have on it."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems."
"They should improve their user interface."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price was fine."
"Very costly product."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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."
"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."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"The pricing is high."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"The product is very expensive."
