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.

Centralized threat intelligence has streamlined dark web monitoring and real‑time IOC detection
The best features Anomali offers are that it acts as an application that pulls data from different solutions. As I mentioned earlier, we utilize Mandiant, Flashpoint, and other CTI solutions. Using Anomali, I push all the results into it, providing a single UI to see what Flashpoint and Google Mandiant are providing rather than jumping into different platforms, which can be time-consuming. Anomali helps us stay on a single platform and provides the required results. The user interface in Anomali is very good. I have worked in Anomali for five years and think they have a great UI for writing queries and finding specific results much more efficiently than in other solutions where you need to scroll down through different widgets. Anomali has a query-based language, similar to SQL, that helps us dig out specific results, whether vulnerability-related or concerning threat actors and TTPs. We can also perform string-based searches. I think it's an awesome feature. Furthermore, regarding integration, Anomali has capabilities to integrate with different downstream applications such as Palo Alto, allowing us to create playbooks to block domains, URLs, or IPs directly within the firewall. Anomali has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time required to find intel specific to our needs. We can create our own queries specific to our organization and pull out results related to any posts within the dark web or any activities from threat actors targeting us. This capability enables us to create saved searches that provide exact results. I estimate that Anomali has saved me about 30% of my time.

Achieve effective email management while identifying areas for security upgrades
There are a couple of issues we have encountered while using Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites for the past four or five years. The first is the Business Email Compromise (BEC) issue. Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID. We were not able to get a satisfactory answer from them regarding the BEC issue. The ransomware protection issue for the old servers or outdated servers and recovery of the data needs improvement in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites. The ransomware protection issue for old servers and business email compromise also needs to be upgraded because even though it's configured, we still face this BEC issue. The response time of the support also needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"We now have a very robust collection of threat intelligence based on the capabilities that Anomali provides."
"I think it's one of the awesome tools I've worked with to date."
"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Anomali has impacted my organization positively because our SOC team, which is actively monitoring all the tools—either SIM, SOAR, or threat intelligence platform—operates in multiple shifts."
"Anomali is a very versatile platform, quite effective, and very fast when it comes to downloading and maintaining the information of the indicators of compromise."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Anomali positively impacts our organization, notably improving our vulnerability management program under reducing attack surface management."
"The multi-tenancy feature is beneficial for managing different customers, allowing for efficient handling across various tenants."
"Trend Micro effectively detects and blocks NAS devices and identifies potential threats."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility. It is very good at detection and response, and it includes a web filtering option."
"The load balancer feature is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites that I found are the antivirus, anti-spamming, anti-malware services that customers are looking for and using, and they are satisfied with that."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, malware detection, and detecting unsafe web access."
"The most important feature is behaviour detection."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility."
 

Cons

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"My experience with Anomali's customer support has not gone so well for us."
"Pricing and licensing are good, but the costs for purchasing threat feeds are somewhat complicated and a bit on the higher side."
"Support in the past has been top-notch, but recent trends indicate that it has taken a back seat, as we often don't get answers for days."
"One more improvement I would mention is regarding compromised credential monitoring. Anomali should increase their capability to fetch details from various dark web solutions where threat actors post compromised credentials."
"The EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing of Trend Micro is a little bit higher compared to Sophos."
"Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID."
"Trend Micro should improve its Worry-Free Services Suites, particularly the agent for Windows operating systems."
"The licensing aspect seems costly, and the license cost increases yearly, which is a concern for us."
"Network vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The solution’s scalability is limited."
"The log management feature needs to be improved, specifically, the ability to send logs from the console via API."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"This is an expensive solution."
"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."
"The product is available at a very good price point."
