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

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The solution is stable."

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

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The convenience has been great."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The customer portal by WithSecure is a lot better with WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection than it was with Countercept."

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

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

"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."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

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

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

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

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

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"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."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

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. 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."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"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."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

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

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

"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."

More WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is a cheaply priced product."

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

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The license isn't expensive."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"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."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"The product has average pricing."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The price is comparable."
