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.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts

I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution installs very easily."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages, everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards, and I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."

"It's a stable solution; we don't have any issues constantly needing to be resolved, it just works."

"It offers an easy initial setup."

"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."

"The solution itself is great."

"I think they are very satisfied with Panda Security because it is quite simple to use."

"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."

"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"Panda is the most painful endpoint solution I've ever had to work with except SentinelOne."

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."

"The product can improve in several ways."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."

"Either conclusion means we will have either false positives or false negatives."

"Only the DNS filtering part could be improved, and nothing else apart from this needs correction."

"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."

"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

Information not available

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."

"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
