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.

Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Previously, we were working with Norton, and we switched from Norton to Avast because we believe Avast is far superior and a better solution, especially for PC management."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."
"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
 

Cons

"There are a large number of false positives."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstations themselves."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Reporting system could be improved."

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

"I am using the free version of Avast."

"It is relatively cheap."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
