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

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"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 correlation with the firewall and the creation of policies by areas have facilitated security management in my company by allowing me to create more fine-tuned policies that take into account multiple aspects of the operation, multiple effects, multiple sources, and multiple destinations."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"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."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

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

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

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

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

"The convenience has been great."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

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

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"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."

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

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

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The interface is slow."

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

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

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

"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."

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

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

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

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"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."

"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."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection cons

"This is an expensive solution."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

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."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

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."
