We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Norton Small Business 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."Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The solution has good performance."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
