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.

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution protects us so that we have regular security from attacks."

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."

"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."

"The solution offers a ransomware vaccine which has been very beneficial to our organization."

"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."

"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."

"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."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."

"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."

"Customer service needs a lot of improvement. They never replied or responded to our queries over the three years we've used it."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"The interface is slow."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"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 solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

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

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"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."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The pricing is reasonable."
