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."The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"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 rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"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 server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"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."
