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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

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

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

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

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"The update process and policy control are good."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"It's pretty simple to use, with the console and the dashboard there is no information overload, it's easy to follow, and it's pretty straightforward to do things like web filtering, generating reports, creating profiles, and deploying it to machines remotely, which is convenient for us."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"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."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"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."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"In my opinion, there is room for improvement for WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection, especially in the deployment tools, which could be a little better, but not by much."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"I am using the Community edition."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

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

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The product has average pricing."

"The price is comparable."
