Compared to all other products, we shortlisted Sophos, Cortex, and CrowdStrike. We are utilizing all of them differently in our multiple divisions and segments to monitor user performance and activities and all the features of these solutions. To date, giving an honest review …

Traps provided us with a cloud-based platform that made our lives a lot simpler. Nothing like Traps exists in the market and I've never used anything like it. Others, on the other hand, were a lot slower to respond. Malwarebytes and other enterprise-level malware software are …

XDR is a solid tool against other security suites. Since XDR goes beyond a EDR tool it's possible to say it can be a replacement for other EndPoint Tools. Although there is a lack of sandboxing binaries the capabilities to customize and tune the tool are vast. XDR is considered …

We looked at Dell's Cylance product and decided against it for two reasons. The first is that it cost a lot more than what we eventually paid for Traps. The second was because initial configuration was very involved and prone to generating user issues until fine-tuning was …

At that time, we could not find other solutions that could compete with Traps. Most of the solutions presented to us are traditional anti-virus. While traps do not rely on the signature of malware but more on the suspicious behaviour or method used. This gave Traps a lot of …

I have not used any other product in the same category as Traps, as it's kind of unique in this segment. I have used other malware enterprise software such as Malwarebytes, but I wouldn't categorize them as the same type of product.

Malware that doesn’t leave files behind has become widely available. Anyone who can afford to reverse this trend should purchase technology. Application whitelisting isn’t for everyone, and Palo Alto Networks Traps can help. Enterprises looking for a low-affected, next-generation solution with high protection should consider it. PAN Traps is a great product at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend it.

Cons
Palo Alto Networks
  • Traps doesn't seem to function as a traditional A/V very well, so it's better as another layer to your endpoint protection
  • Traps can cause issues with some legacy or custom programs, so exceptions may have to be made
  • Traps falsely identifies things as malicious at times, this is not often though

Usability
Palo Alto Networks
Day to day, Cortex is easy to use when you have no alerts and when an agent upgrade doesn't go south. Alerts are far too "clicky", there's too many steps to drilling down to what actually happened to trigger an alert. Investigating alerts in Cortex takes about 5x longer than it should.

Support Rating
Palo Alto Networks
The support we receive from Palo Alto is one of the best aspects of Traps. It is very easy to recommend their support. It seems much easier to connect directly with someone with a deep understanding of the product rather than other companies where you basically have to make an airtight case that it is some kind of non-standard issue that can't be solved with existing documentation. Palo Alto digs deep and helps with advanced troubleshooting to get things working.

Traps is the slickest interface, easy to use and intuitive rule making, and the rest just didn't quite stack up to the performance level of Traps. McAfee and Kaspersky just hog processor and RAM power. I didn't like the interface and functionality of SentinelOne as much as Traps. Palo Alto really put a lot of time into the development of this software, and had some of the founding fathers of IT Security heading the development process. Can't beat that.

Return on Investment
Palo Alto Networks
  • After putting Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR on a user's system, users came back with a positive response that there are no performance issues now.
  • We are able to track and control granular suspicious and malicious activities.
  • Web controls are missing, which if they would have been there would have been very helpful.
