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

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Deep Instinct's detection rate is close to 100 percent."

"The user interface is a good feature; it shows which process has been accessed and the flow, and the detections for PowerShell are also pretty good, as is the active scripts detection feature."

"Deep Instinct complements the solutions we already have. You don't need to rip and replace any antivirus or endpoint that you have. It's easy to use and it's easy to have it side-by-side with other solutions. That makes it really easy to have an additional level of protection, rather than to hassle with doing solution migration."

"Deep Instinct Prevention Platform stops all malware, including zero-days in 20 milliseconds, and I have never managed to get anything past it, which means I do not have to get out of bed whenever something happens at the client because we know anything bad has been stopped."

"The beauty about Deep Instinct is that you can set and forget it; you don't really have to deal with it, unlike other solutions where you have to constantly have an IT administrator who manages it day in, day out."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"I really like the behavioral analysis feature, because it looks at all the different things, like arbitrary shellcode and reflective DLL. It looks at a lot of things that threat actors use as threat vectors to get into the environment."

"It has the lowest false-positive ratio that I have come across. I have only had one which was a legitimate file that I had to whitelist. It was for one of the applications I was trying to install and integrate. But the false positive ratio is very low."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The convenience has been great."

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

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

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

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"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."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."

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

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"I would like to see improvement in the user interface so that the user has more control. For example, it would be good if a user could change their grouping if they want to be part of another group. Or if I want to right-click and scan a specific file that I just imported, that would be helpful. Sometimes you just want to do an extra scan to make sure you're safe."

"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."

"The interface on the endpoint could be a little more descriptive and more valuable. It doesn't always tell you the data you need to see. Improvement there would be very helpful."

"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."

"I would like to see improvement in the user interface so that the user has more control."

"If the client is working remotely and doesn't have a VPN then the deployment is difficult to do."

"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."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"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 solution needs to improve stability."

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

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"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."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Its pricing is too high, but that is not because of the product. It is expensive because of the cost of the console. You need a console to control the whole thing, but the console is expensive. You have to split this cost among all possible users. Normally, to be able to make it economically attractive, you need at least 1,000 agents, PCs, or users. If you have a customer with 300 to 500 agents, PCs, or users, it becomes too pricey."

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

"In comparison to the other products out there, it's exceptionally competitively priced. When you consider the lower administrative overhead that it facilitates, it's an absolute value."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"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."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

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

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