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.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is easy to use."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, with playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"It is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"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."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"They could have more reports."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"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."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"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."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
Information not available
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"The product is available at a high price."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price is excellent."
