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.

Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team

A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

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 main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features are the static/dynamic analyses. Deep Instinct's predictive model has very high accuracy and provides threat information for unknown malware, such as malware classification, static analysis information, and sandbox information."

"Instead of having features like rollback and after-event actionable stuff, the whole premise and the context of the solution is to actually prevent these malicious attacks from happening to begin with.... The ability to prevent threats is the most appealing aspect. It absolutely, 100 percent helps with real-time prevention of unknown malware. That's the strength of the product."

"Deep Instinct has helped us to be a lot more proactive on the security front, rather than reactive, saving us a lot of time in incident response and significantly reducing our SOC’s endpoint protection management time and false positives."

"No valuable quote available from the provided review sections."

"We think of this product as a fishing net that fits into the computer and has all of the capabilities and understanding of what ransomware and malware look like."

"The detection rate is very high. In all the testing with around 20 partners in different environments, quite a lot of them had installed with other anti-malware applications, like Sophos. This software can co-exist with those applications in the same machine. This is impressive."

"The CPU consumption is low compared to what I have been using in my current environment, which is Sophos. The footprint is a lot smaller, about a quarter of Sophos. It is very small."

"When you take a product like Deep Instinct and remove the overhead while allowing the organization to function as though there were no security inhibitors yet still provide that high level of security, to me that's a huge win because we’re not sacrificing productivity."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"The solution is stable."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"This is a very costly product."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"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 false positives."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"If the tool was able to provide fine-tuning capabilities from the product's end depending on the environment of its user, then it would be a good improvement in the solution."

"I am looking forward to them adding Linux in Q1 or Q2 of 2019, as this is often requested by my partners and customers. Currently, Deep Instinct only has Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS."

"Reporting on incidents needs improvement."

"I think it's probably the administration, especially the administration platform, which could be improved in the solution. It's clunky and hard to navigate, especially for inexperienced technicians."

"Its support for Linux and Unix operating systems can be improved. Currently, they cover macOS and Windows, but they don't cover Linux and some of the Unix products. Pricing is also an issue. Its pricing is not as aggressive as it could be, and its price makes it difficult to sell. Customers feel that they can get an antivirus for a lower price, even though it is not a similar product. It is technically different. Their SLAs can be better. They have to give you 24/7 support, but their SLAs are not very good. They should be better documented, and the offerings should also be a little bit better. What happens is that the SLAs end up in the hands of the intermediary, seller, or the local partner of Deep Instinct in a country. The customers want very fast SLAs in a very short time, but Deep Instinct doesn't give them at the same speed. Having said that, SLAs are important when you have a lot of issues, but this product doesn't have too many issues, so it is not a big concern. However, for a customer who doesn't know the product, it could be a concern."

"When things get done automatically, I would appreciate more logging of what's happening in the background... we should be able to backtrack from the log that gets uploaded to our cloud instance and see, forensically, what the root cause was."

"Some features are too resource intensive."

"It would be nice if there were options where, if I have to do SIEM integration, I could do so from the UI: Just pick and choose what SIEM solutions the customers use and have options to have out-of-the-box connection facility."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"The interface is slow."

"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."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."

"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."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There is a need for customers of the product to pay towards the licensing costs of the tool."

"Pricing and licensing are very straightforward. It's two SKUs, one is for the console and the other is for the client."

"If I include the false positive rate and the detection rate in the comparison, Deep Instinct is worth its price."

"We are a nonprofit. The MSP had provides pretty decent nonprofit rates for us. This was one of the key factors that made us choose Deep Instinct over its competitors who were significantly more expensive."

"Their pricing is very competitive. It is good, fair, and a lot cheaper than what we were doing with Cylance."

"One thing about their licensing program that I like is that just one covers the server as well as on the endpoint as well as mobile devices. There is no complexity in calculating how many SKUs I need for mobile, for laptop, for desktop, and for servers. It's very simple and that makes it much easier to budget."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive but we are satisfied with DI's performance."

"There are no additional costs on the price, and our company has a support contract, which bundles in those services anyway."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The license isn't expensive."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
