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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

"It is easy to use."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

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

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The solution installs very easily."

"The customer portal by WithSecure is a lot better with WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection than it was with Countercept."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"It's a very good and reliable product as we have no problems with it generally."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"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."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."

"There are a large number of false positives."

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."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"It has a yearly renewal."
