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.

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

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"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."
"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."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"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."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"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."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"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 solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"What I appreciate the most about WatchGuard EPDR is that with the managed detection and response system, when there is an alert about the product running, the turnaround time for enabling it is less than two hours."
"The interface is great."
"Great technical support staff."
"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."
"Technical support has always been top-notch when you can get through."
"We are very satisfied with the product."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
 

Cons

"This is a very costly product."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The price could be a little lower."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"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."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The cost of the solution can 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."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Only the DNS filtering part could be improved, and nothing else apart from this needs correction."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"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."
"I'd like them to offer a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether they are valid."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"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."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The product is available at a high price."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price is excellent."
"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."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
