Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Technical Consultant at Vincacyber
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

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"This is a very good solution for discovering malware and checking the behavior at user endpoints."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"Our clients choose Cynet because it is both simple to use and comprehensive."
"We especially like the fact that it can stop any kind of attack."
"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."
"The solution provided an immediate return on investment; we've stopped several cyberattacks within hours, and we stopped one ongoing cyberattack within one day of deploying to a new client."
"At the end of the day, Cynet got the maximum rating."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"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."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"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 support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"I have had a bit of trouble in the commercial support as a reseller in a country where we started to sell Cynet."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"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."
"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 support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
