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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."

"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."

"It's straightforward to set up."

"The performance of the solution has been great overall."

"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."

"The protection is very good."

"After installing Avast, this did not happen."

"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."

More Avast Business Hub pros

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"The solution installs very easily."

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

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

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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 solution could offer more protection."

"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."

"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."

"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."

"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."

More Avast Business Hub cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. 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."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

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

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

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"I am using the free version."

"There are no costs other than licensing."

"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."

"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."

"I am using the free version of Avast."
