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.

Behavior analytics has strengthened threat prediction yet still needs to improve overall standing

Regarding the real-time monitoring feature with VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, it is helpful in addressing unseen threats. I find the behavior analysis feature beneficial. I assess VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's machine learning capabilities in detecting unknown threats as fantastic. The behavior and analytics feature employs machine learning, and these are features which make the product and give that distinguishing, differentiating factor. The intelligent threat hunting capabilities have impacted my customers' cybersecurity efforts by giving them the edge to be prepared well in advance. Whenever this feature provides prediction, you know what action to take. You are aware of a possible attack and what kind of attack it may be, so you are much better prepared.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The solution is stable."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."

"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."

"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."

"Since March of 2018, we have not had a malicious intrusion success."

"The biggest feature out of CarbonBlack is its ability to dive in with more depth. You can look at the entire kill chain and understand, not only if an alarm or identified incident is truly a true security issue versus a false positive, and it allows us to backtrack and figure out why it actually happened and how it got into the environment."

"Using Open API, we were able to freely perform the necessary integration with our other security solutions."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."

"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

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

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"User management could be improved."

"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."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"The licensing price is a bit expensive when compared with other solutions."

"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."

"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."

"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing. I would like to have more explanations and simplification in the user interface. It would be good to get help and see more explanations. It should tell us that a software is blocked and the reason for it. It would be good to be able to build chains in terms of what caused what, what worked, and what caused an issue. We are now moving from Carbon Black to Cortex XDR. While choosing antivirus software, we were also looking at Carbon Black because it also has an antivirus package, and it is next-generation, but we were told that Carbon Black doesn't support firewalls. We have Palo Alto firewalls. We would have chosen this solution if it supported firewalls, in particular next-generation firewalls, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Therefore, we decided on Cortex XDR because it integrates with Palo Alto firewalls."

"Technical support needs some improvement. They don't seem to respond so well to technical help."

"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."

"Stability is one thing that's not robust. Other products are faster, but as far as the CB Defense, it's slow."

"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The price was fine."

"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."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"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 license isn't expensive."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The license is annual. It's a standard license."

"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."

"It's reasonable in price"

"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."

"Overall, it was cost-effective too."

"The platform is expensive."

"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."

"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
