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.

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation

I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

"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 most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The convenience has been great."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"It is easy to manage."

"It is stable, and the performance is good."

"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."

"We are very satisfied with the product."

"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."

"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

"It offers an easy initial setup."

"The patch management module is very important."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The interface is slow."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"Needs a service desk system to link up with endpoint protection and email protection."

"An area for improvement would be the software deployment to seamlessly deploy software packages across multiple machines simultaneously, and to enhance the remote monitoring capabilities."

"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."

"I would like to see better data protection, for instance using fingerprints to log in."

"WatchGuard EPDR does have areas for improvement. One significant gap is the lack of a virtual patching feature integrated into the endpoint security. This would be particularly useful for endpoints running operating systems that are no longer supported, such as Windows 7."

"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."

"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."

"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"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."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The license isn't expensive."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"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."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
