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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"The convenience has been great."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The solution is stable."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"It's a very good and reliable product as we have no problems with it generally."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"It's pretty simple to use, with the console and the dashboard there is no information overload, it's easy to follow, and it's pretty straightforward to do things like web filtering, generating reports, creating profiles, and deploying it to machines remotely, which is convenient for us."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"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."

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"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."

"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."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"The interface is slow."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"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."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"In my opinion, there is room for improvement for WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection, especially in the deployment tools, which could be a little better, but not by much."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
