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

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The interface is great."
"The most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
 

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"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."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"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 product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"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."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
