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

"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."
"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."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"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."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."
"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that they have the lightest agent, as it is only six MBs, installs in a matter of seconds, is very lightweight, and has a very minimal, negligible performance impact on the machine and endpoints."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"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."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Low performance requirements."
 

Cons

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"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."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"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."
"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"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 want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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 pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
"I am using the free version."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
