Automated SaaS access governance has reduced OAuth risks and improves audit readiness
The best features are deep OAuth app visibility, real-time risk detection, automated remediation, risk scoring and prioritization, and SaaS-to-SaaS threat detection. The real-time risk detection and alerts have benefited us the most. Astrix continuously monitors connections and third-party apps, flagging high-risk applications automatically when risky permission, suspicious behavior, or unusual access patterns are detected. This helped us considerably. Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness. The faster offboarding has been transformative. Before Astrix, offboarding was mostly manual and checklist-driven. When an employee or vendor left, we would disable their primary account, remove them from groups, manually review shared drives, and try to identify third-party apps they had authorized. After Astrix, it is centralized, automated, and immediate.

Seamless integration into existing ecosystem empowers effective threat detection
The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is its seamless integration into the Palo Alto Networks ecosystem, allowing the threat intelligence feeds to be automatically consumed without manual effort. It uses the STIX format, which is automatically understood by the firewalls. AutoFocus also excels in behavioral analytics and reputation scoring, providing thorough threat analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We went from having zero visibility to complete third-party integration visibility, which helps us considerably."
"Astrix offers excellent observability features that track the user query, what the user sent, what prompt was sent to the LLM, what the LLM response sent, what retrieval documents were checked, and what tools were called, along with the final response."
"Since deploying Astrix, we've seen a 42% reduction in high-risk third-party OAuth apps, a 65% reduction in dormant SaaS integration, faster vendor offboarding from days to an hour, and improved audit readiness."
"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus has had a positive impact on my company as we can reduce the cost for the SOC investment, and we can also get good feedback on how to strengthen our network from the expertise people available."
"The feature that I like best is the dashboard."
"It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats."
"I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security."
"It's a very good solution, it identifies critical attacks and alerts you."
"The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."

Cons

"Customer support could be improved so that faster support on services would attract more customers."
"Astrix is good regarding its accuracy and reliability of output, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex."
"Astrix could be improved with deeper coverage on on-premises and hybrid application environments."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
"It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution."
"It must be on-premises as well; it must have a server on-premises. It is a completely cloud-based product at present."
"It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it."
"There were one or two instances where firewalls were not getting the threat intelligence feeds."
"Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus is not affordable."
"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
