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

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"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."
"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 solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"After installing Avast, this did not happen."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."
"The protection is very good."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"Overall, the solution is stable."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"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."
"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."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"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."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"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."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"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."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"The price was fine."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"I am using the free version."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
