Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"We normally focus on Huntress."
"Good for monitoring, active response, and for vulnerabilities."
"We use it to find any aberration in our endpoint devices. For example, if someone installs a game on their company laptop, Wazuh will detect it and inform us of the unauthorized software or unintended use of the devices provided by the company."
"It allows you to aggregate all your logs in one place and provides a unified view to monitor your security environment."
"Wazuh offers an enhanced HDR version that outperforms its competitors."
"The product is easy to customize."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Stability-wise, Wazuh seems to have fixed all the past issues, and the latest version is possibly the most stable."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
 

Cons

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"Adding the flexibility to integrate various plug-ins or modules into its core system would enhance functionality."
"Scalability is a constraint in the on-prem version of Wazuh in terms of the volume of logs we can manage."
"A lack of certain features creates limitations."
"The support channel is not optimal, and extensive research is required on our part to implement Wazuh effectively."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"Wazuh's scalability and out-of-the-box functionality are slightly lagging behind, but Wazuh has improved a lot since the first time we saw it."
"Wazuh doesn't have native support for some enterprise solutions."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
Information not available
"Wazuh is a good tool, but the open-source version has scalability limitations."
"The product price is neither too high nor too low."
"Wazuh is not an expensive solution."
"Wazuh is free and open source."
"It is an open-source product."
"There is not a license required for Wazuh."
"Wazuh is open-source, therefore it is free. You can purchase support for $1,000 a year."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
