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

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"It is easy to use."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

"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."

"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."

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

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

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

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

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

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

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

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

"The customer portal by WithSecure is a lot better with WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection than it was with Countercept."

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

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

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

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

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"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."

"The price could be a little lower."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"There are some false positives."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

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

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"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."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"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."

"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."

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

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"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."

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

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

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

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"This is an expensive solution."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"The license isn't expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The price is comparable."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The product has average pricing."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
