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

"The stability of the solution is very good, we have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"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."
"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 solution is easy to use, flexible, and secure."
"We haven't had any compatibility issues. It's quite stable and it's a good tool in preventing actual viruses or malware."
"The next-generation antivirus features are excellent."
"It is their most comprehensive endpoint protection solution, including DLP, Office 365, device control, and the rest of the little bells and whistles that the traditional AV vendors have."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."
"The most effective features of Trend Micro Smart Protection are its antivirus and malware capabilities."
"I recommend this solution because the support is the best."

Cons

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The interface is slow."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The web filtering could be improved."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection could improve automatic scanning because sometimes it pops up when I am doing my work."
"There are no data loss prevention features."
"There are certain concerns with the product's stability, so it is an area where improvements are required."
"The design of management tools needs improvement."
"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

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"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."
