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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support
The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

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

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"I like Trend Micro Smart Protection because it offers strong, all-around cybersecurity, is better than many others out there, and helps with vulnerability and patch management, making it easier to provide top-notch services to our customers."
"I found Trend Micro to be compatible with those sanctions as well, as it's a Japanese company and they are not using any technology developed in U.S. It was a sanction-compliant solution as well."
"The administration through the cloud is valuable."
"The next-generation antivirus features are excellent."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and secure."
"The scalability works well."
"The stability is good and I like the level of performance I can get."
"The product maintenance is relatively easy."
 

Cons

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"The only notable concern is the level of support in the particular region of Sri Lanka. Following events in the past two years, the quality of technical support has regrettably declined."
"I've not explored all of the features up to now. I still need to see all of the features implemented first to be able to see if anything is missing. However, as of right now, it's working very well for us."
"I cannot recall noticing any missing features."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection could improve automatic scanning because sometimes it pops up when I am doing my work. It would be helpful to have a feature to have it only automatically scan when the system is on standby mode. I would be able to be more efficient with my work. Additionally, security could improve."
"Some functionalities within the DLP can be improved."
"There are certain concerns with the product's stability, so it is an area where improvements are required."
"I'm not sure about the cloud migration part, in terms of whether it is seamless or not."
"I would not recommend it for what we consider as enterprise companies here in South Africa."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"The price of Trend Micro Smart Protection is reasonable."
"In terms of pricing, in comparison to products like Kaspersky, Trend Micro's price might appear higher. However, this elevated cost can be rationalized due to the extensive features and detection engines that Trend Micro provides. The price may be a challenge for countries with economic conditions like Sri Lanka. If there was reasonable pricing for Sri Lanka, it would be a plus point."
"In terms of licensing cost, it falls within the average range compared to competitors, almost 7 out of 10."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution is a little bit expensive in comparison to other traditional tools."
"A yearly price has to be paid. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
