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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."
"Speed"
"Low performance requirements."
"The solution has many features, is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The solution is stable."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"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."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"User management could be improved."
"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."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"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 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."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"I am using the Community edition."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
