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.

Support at a security firm with 51-200 employees
Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"If we talk about ROI, then the solution is good, as we are getting a sandbox feature in it plus the VPN licenses if we have the Check Point firewall."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"We find the zero-day protection to be an extremely valuable feature of this solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations."
"I came to the realization that this was the best solution for the need and the budget I had available and it hasn't disappointed me since."
"Harmony is better than Crowd Strike or any other similar solution in that class."
"The Check Point SandBlast solution, also known as Harmony Endpoint, is able to detect, block, monitor, and respond to any malicious activity that happens on the endpoint."
"I strongly recommend this solution to all IT businesses and professionals."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"The price could be a little lower."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"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."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."
"My advice to others is they need to have Check Point expertise internally, if they don't have any in-house Check Point expertise, I wouldn't recommend this product."
"One way Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved is through extended audit log retention, as one commonly cited limitation is the short retention period for audit logs, currently capped at around 14 days in some configurations, and extending that window would help security teams conduct deeper forensic investigations and meet compliance requirements more easily."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"The response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"The dashboarding for Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"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."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"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."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"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."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
