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.

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation
I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"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 solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"The most valuable part of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its overall effectiveness as a good and decent security solution, providing comprehensive security which improves protection for devices significantly."
"The deployment of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is easy and convenient."
"Reduced the number of malware/virus issue encounters and dashboard alerts providing better visibility."
"The most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"I have seen some positive impact from using WatchGuard EPDR because it's less painful than the previous product we were using, has more functionality, and is easier to manage."
 

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"This is a very costly product."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"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."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The interface is slow."
"I think there was a little complexity in deployment when I actually deployed WatchGuard EPDR."
"I would like to see better data protection, for instance using fingerprints to log in."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Their portal is, to me, in need of a lot of work. It's just not very good."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"It is hard to install and deploy on a Linux operating system."
