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.

An affordable tool that is easy to learn
The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seqrite developed a feature that can help restore deleted data. If there is a ransomware attack, our company can restore the data as Seqrite keeps a copy in an encrypted and complex format. If there is any ransomware attack, our company can restore the data. If the data is deleted by any of the users in our company, and if we want to recover it, then it can be done through the process that the tool uses to restore data during a ransomware attack. There is a command through which users can recover the data from the laptop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"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."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"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."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
 

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 the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"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 has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"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."
"Very costly product."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is 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."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"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."
