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.

End-to-end automation has simplified patching and software deployment across thousands of servers
There is one feature in BigFix called the automation patch policy that requires enhancement. When an action is initiated through the patch policy, it appears on the console but arrives in chunks. When targeting hundreds of servers from the patch policy, the actions come in chunks such as ten out of six, ten out of nine, or ten out of fifteen. This fragmented approach creates a significant challenge for the patching team to monitor the action status. I would recommend that the development team provide a single action or one to two actions instead of multiple actions requiring individual monitoring. A broad status update could be provided to the client indicating the overall progress of the patch policy implementation rather than requiring monitoring of every individual action. This would reduce the bandwidth required by the team to track multiple actions on the console.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support
The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Scalability is also really great."
"It has one central location to manage all the different platforms that we have such as desktop, Windows Servers, Linux Server, Solaris, AIX and zLinux, and it's great to be able to manage them all from one central location."
"From a security standpoint, it allows us to make sure that we're not leaving ourselves vulnerable to exploits and things like that. That's the biggest advantage that we see to the product from a security standpoint."
"DOWNLOADING-PATCHES; It has also helped to reduce network traffic when it comes to downloading patches. By only having to download the patch once to the central location and then utilizing the relay structure to then download the patch to a specific site and then everything gathering at local, it greatly reduces the bandwidth of multiple endpoints."
"We are able to use BigFix through API connections to automate and reduce resources and time. The product's been great for us. It's increased the security posture ten-fold and it's increased our visibility across our endpoints enormously."
"BigFix has two advantages over other solutions: its price is competitive and we found the implementation partner to be very supportive in terms of explaining and training the in-house resources and deploying the solution."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"My company provides support services to a lot of customers and companies. We have reduced a huge amount of man-effort. Along with the man-effort, we have reduced the timeline to fix the compliance and security gaps. We have an unbroken record. The documentation clearly says that we have done the patching of newly released patches, including Microsoft and third-party patches, in up to 80% of the computers, within 72 hours of the release of the production. That was a very massive benefit that we have seen. When I talk about the 80% endpoints, it is 100 or 200. I am talking about 25,000 endpoints."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"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."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"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."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Technical support has sometimes been very good, and sometimes it's been not so good."
"Implementing a business solution with BigFix has some issues, primarily concerning the time required for distribution to clients if there are too many."
"The reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"There is some complexity, a learning curve, but overall it's a great product."
"The technical support is usually pretty good. However, I had a ticket that stayed open for a couple of weeks which I didn't get a response to, and when we got the response it wasn't really good."
"In order to derive maximum benefit from BigFix, it is essential that we configure all of its features and implement them effectively. If the automation could be improved we would be able to mitigate the risks associated with zero-day threats."
"I would like to see SDK for Web UI included in the next release."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The interface is slow."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"User management could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"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 solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Very costly product."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"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."
"It is too costly. It is one of the best tools, but because of pricing, not all clients support it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution is high. There are not any additional fees from the standard license."
"We have a subscription-based contract with BigFix."
"The price is reasonable, but our customers find it expensive."
"It might be about $23 a client."
"I can estimate the reduced cost of servers maintenance to approximatively $500,000."
"I would stay with the Managed Virtual Server license model, which is a 1-to-1 license per OS whether it is virtual or physical."
"There's not much big cost. We only have to pay the agents' cost for the server, and for the systems."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
