Automated threat response and behavioral control improve security measures
I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP ( /categories/data-loss-prevention-dlp )) solution to Cortex XDR ( /categories/extended-detection-and-response-xdr ) by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP ( /categories/data-loss-prevention-dlp ) policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products. Additionally, multi-tenancy and multi-cloud features are not available and should be considered for inclusion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The solution is stable."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The convenience has been great."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"Limited remote connection."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"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 solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"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."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The license isn't expensive."
