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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The stability is very good."
"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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The solution has good performance."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"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."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"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."
