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.

Provides a secure and hassle-free environment

One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling. The notifications urging me to buy additional services, like dark web monitoring or a secure browser, can be overwhelming. It feels like they are trying to sell me more than I actually need. I would prefer a more straightforward approach where essential features are included in the base license without constant prompts to purchase extras. While notifications about actions taken for my security are good, they could be more informative, letting me know exactly what they did to protect me without the upsell pitches. Simplifying the user experience and providing clearer information about the actions taken would make Norton 360 more user-friendly for me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution has good performance."

"The performance is fine."

"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."

"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."

"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."

"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."

"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

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

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"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."

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

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"The onboarding process could be better."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"The price could be a little lower."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."

"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."

"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."

"The updates must be less frequent."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"The tool's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."

"There's a need for enhanced security measures."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

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

"The interface is slow."

"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."

"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."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

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

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

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