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.

Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is customizable."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"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."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint. Additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"This solution helps make sure that we can patch and keep security going without having to talk to everyone for change management."
"The best features of Check Point Harmony Endpoint that stand out the most for me include the anti-ransomware protection, which detects abnormal encryption behavior, stops it instantly, and restores affected files, preventing downtime for the users."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has positively impacted our organization by helping to reduce incidents by catching threats early before users even noticed them, which saved us time and lowered risk across the board."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include complete visibility and a single dashboard where I can see everything for all employees."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"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."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved if it were less resource-intensive because not all of our end-users have laptops with high resources available, such as 16 GB of RAM."
"The interface can feel complex at times; a simplified navigation would make daily use easier."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"We'd like to see some customized security roll-ups and scans for threat detection."
"One area that requires improvement is the amount of audit logs the system can save, as it is currently limited to fourteen days."
"The heartbeat interval must be improved."
"Reporting and management could be improved."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
 

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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
