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

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"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."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"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."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"The protection is very good."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"After installing Avast, this did not happen."
"The solution can scale well."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The performance of the solution has been great overall."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The convenience has been great."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
 

Cons

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"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."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"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."
"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."
"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."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"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 cost of the solution can be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
