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."The stability is very good."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"It is easy to use."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The solution has good performance."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"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 offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
