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.

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

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"It is easy to use."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"There are a lot of solutions, and quite a lot of options, but this one is the perfect one for us."
"Integrates easily with almost every third-party product"
"I recommend this solution because the support is the best."
"It is a stable solution."
"Your workstation doesn't slow down, unlike when you use Symantec, for example."
"The most valuable features are the behavior monitoring, behavior analysis, and web reputation service."
"Product-wise, it is amazing. It includes DLP, vulnerability management, and application whitelisting features. These features are very good and add value in selling this solution to our customers. These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye."
"The tool offers centralized security management. The tool's deployment is flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"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."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"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 solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"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."
"There are certain concerns with the product's stability, so it is an area where improvements are required."
"I would not recommend it for what we consider as enterprise companies here in South Africa."
"The product is solid overall, but it could be faster in responding to new threats like ransomware."
"The dashboard could be easier to manage. We've experienced compatibility issues with Windows endpoint protection."
"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."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection has been discontinued because it uses Linux CentOS OS, so currently we are using the service gateway for this solution."
"I cannot recall noticing any missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"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."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"The price of Trend Micro Smart Protection is reasonable."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription license on it. In the next release, there might be monthly payment options. So, people might be able to get it through AWS in the future, but right now for on-prem, it is annual."
"A yearly price has to be paid. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"Whether something is affordable or pricy, is relative. It depends on the value an institution has attached to a capability. For us, security is a premium requirement, I can't say a solution is pricey if we are able to afford it and run it for seven years, I would say it's affordable."
"Its price is fine. Price-wise, it is competitive with any other vendor."
"The solution is a little bit expensive in comparison to other traditional tools."
