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

"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"The installation was simple, and it did not take very long."
"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 ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."
"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."
"The protection is very good."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The solution could offer more protection."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"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."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"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."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"I am using the free version."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
