We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Malwarebytes 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."The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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 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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"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."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
