We performed a comparison between Avast Business Hub and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks 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."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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"The solution can scale well."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"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."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
