We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Webroot Business Endpoint Protection 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."Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The stability is very good."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"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."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
