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

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The interface is great."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"The best features of WatchGuard EPDR are the remote management features; we currently use it to set a default admin account on all machines through the console, which was a good feature that I was not even aware of until a colleague used it over the last two weeks to implement that change."
"What is really great about Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its console in the cloud, and it can keep the inventory of software in the PC."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"The patch management module is very important."
"What I appreciate the most about WatchGuard EPDR is that with the managed detection and response system, when there is an alert about the product running, the turnaround time for enabling it is less than two hours."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"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."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Very costly product."
"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."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"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 solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The price is excellent."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
