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.

Deep traffic inspection has strengthened threat detection and provides smooth zero day protection
I have been dealing with Deep Discovery that inspects incoming and outgoing traffic, and it is used for packet filtering. The most valuable features and functionalities in Deep Discovery are that it is used for monitoring malicious traffic, and it operates down to the firewall and inspects any malicious traffic. I have used Deep Discovery's sandbox analysis feature. The sandboxing feature helps our threat detection efforts as it internally inspects the malicious data and holds it in the sandbox, and after the analysis, the file is quarantined. I evaluate Deep Discovery's real-time visibility on network traffic as a better solution for inspecting traffic. In incident response, Deep Discovery captures zero-day threats easily and provides the best visibility on the console. I assess the effectiveness of Trend Micro's real-time analysis in my defense strategy as good, as it does not disturb any work and operates very smoothly in the background without any utilization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"The sandboxing is more proactive and more reliable than any of the other endpoint protection solutions."
"Installation is easy."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Smart Protection are the email gateway and R & D which have contributed to their additional capability and development."
"Helps with vulnerability and patch management, making it easier to provide top-notch services to our customers."
"The most valuable features are the behavior monitoring, behavior analysis, and web reputation service."
"One of the most valuable features of Trend Micro Smart Protection is the integration with other solutions."
"Your workstation doesn't slow down, unlike when you use Symantec, for example."
"The product maintenance is relatively easy."
 

Cons

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"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."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"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 security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"There is room for improvement to make it better for customers."
"This product is not very simple and in fact, kind of hard for some people to understand."
"There are no data loss prevention features."
"We found an issue on the server-side. Sometimes, it slows down the servers if you install it on the SQL."
"The only drawback to this solution is that it needs different products for different types of clients, and it would be better to have a single agent for all of the products."
"I'm not sure about the cloud migration part, in terms of whether it is seamless or not."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection is a very system-intensive product, and it would be better if it could be made less burdensome on the resources."
"The solution should improve its mobile management solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
Information not available
"This solution provides good value for the price."
"Instead of going for monthly or yearly licensing models, it is better to go ahead with three-year or five-year licensing models as it can be cheaper."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is a little expensive. However, they can reduce the price for competition. There are different licensing models."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection is more costly than competitor solutions"
"If I'm not mistaken, for three years, for 400 licenses, we paid nearly 15,000 euros. We don't have any additional costs that we have to pay on top of that."
"The pricing is good compared to Symantec and McAfee."
