We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Webroot Business Endpoint Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"Speed"
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Low performance requirements."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"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."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"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."
"The licensing model is complex to understand. It requires expertise to explain how the licensing works. You need expertise to guide you through the subscription plan."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"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."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
