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.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"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."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"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 solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The price could be a little lower."
"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."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The interface is slow."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"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."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"I would rate Panda Adaptive Defense 360 overall eight points because I still try to find another solution that is easier for me, which can provide what I currently have in Panda Adaptive Defense 360."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
