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.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The convenience has been great."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"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."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The patch management module is very important."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"I can put tons of load on it."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"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."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"User management could be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the Community edition."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
