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."This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"If there are multiple alerts, the app will automatically create and rate an event instead of going through each one."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The solution has good performance."
"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."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"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."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"The GUI could be improved."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
