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.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"When compared with other similar solutions, Cynet looks at the network, the host, the files, the directories, and the users, where the others are concerned, you must add them."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"Our clients choose Cynet because it is both simple to use and comprehensive."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"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."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Product might have some bugs."
"After only one month of implementation, an overall rating is premature."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"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 solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"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
