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.

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.

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation
I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"The core functionality of the product is very impressive and I recommend that people use it."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"I think they are very satisfied with Panda Security because it is quite simple to use."
"What is really great about Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its console in the cloud, and it can keep the inventory of software in the PC."
"Reduced the number of malware/virus issue encounters and dashboard alerts providing better visibility."
"The best features of WatchGuard EPDR are the remote management features; we currently use it to set a default admin account on all machines through the console, which was a good feature that I was not even aware of until a colleague used it over the last two weeks to implement that change."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"Only the DNS filtering part could be improved, and nothing else apart from this needs correction."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"It is hard to install and deploy on a Linux operating system."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
Information not available
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The product is available at a high price."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
