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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Overall, the solution is stable."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"Product might have some bugs."
"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."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"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."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"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."
"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."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"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."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Work on a price tier plan."
