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.

Remote access has become seamless and secure while deployment remains simple for our users
Performance could be improved today. People are now moving toward SASE, which stands for Secure Access, Secure Edge Solution. Fortinet also has that offering, which would be easier since it operates through the cloud, acting as a first line of defense. When the user connects to the internet, they connect to the cloud first for posture assessment and monitoring before connecting to the outside world. The impact is significant because nowadays people are adopting SASE. During COVID time, many users were trying to connect back to their office, causing the performance or CPU utilization of the firewall to increase tremendously, which slowed down performance. I have not worked with endpoint telemetry in Fortinet FortiClient that could have been helpful for threat mitigation.

A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"The solution's stability is generally good."
"The valuable features for us are the integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"If having a fancy system is not important to the person, but he is simply looking for a workable and stable solution, then FortiGate is the way to go."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"The performance of FortiClient is impressive."
"Telemetry has been valuable."
"The deployment was fast and easy to use, and on the firewall we can see if you are a client or not, so it's good for visibility while also offering strong vulnerability scanning, useful malware protection, and solid patch management."
"The most useful features are the reports that come from the end user's machines and devices, and you have everything in one place to tell you what's happening on the network."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"Image creation and image analysis in one program, basically for ease of use."
"It is a very useful tool; it is worth buying irrespective of price."
"The solution has been quite good, and, overall, the features we need are available to us."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts, as it allows me to customize the scripts and deploy them as and how I need them, for example to segregate and index files efficiently."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
 

Cons

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect. The error doesn't give us the proper feedback."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"Very costly product."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"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."
"We are using the free version of this product."
"The price is okay and competitive."
"FortiClient is costly."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"Fortinet requires you to buy a lot of product in order for you to have proper protection."
"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
