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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"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."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"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."

"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."

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The price could also use improvement."

"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."

"The endpoint side of FortiClient needs improvement, specifically the agent-based endpoint, which requires enhancements in detection and additional features to reduce bugs."

"The support can be improved. They have room to improve by deploying more support resources."

"Cloud services are very expensive for us."

"The user interface is a bit sluggish and needs improvement."

"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."

"FortiClient has compatibility issues between different versions, for example, the VPN doesn't work well between FortiClient 6.4 and FortiGate."

More Fortinet FortiClient cons

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The interface is slow."

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

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
