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.

Easy to scale, good reports, easy to install and has excellent support

It reduces network and bandwidth speed. We cope with our bandwidth in order to use it. The majority of the complaints we receive are about the PC running slower. The network is slower as a result of the increased bandwidth usage. I would like to see the reports simplified for those who are not technically minded. Some of these reports can be confusing, and I'd love to be able to send them to my clients. An IT person would be able to understand them, but a client who does not have an IT background would find it difficult. I would like the language should be easier for them to understand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution is easy to use."

"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."

"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."

"It's not heavy on the system."

"As a free product, it is top of its class, with this solution installed I am not concerned about threats to my PC."

"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."

"Our time to response to malware is now at the lowest percentage possible."

"The solution is quite stable and straightforward."

More Avast Business Hub pros

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"Overall, the solution is stable."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."

Cons

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution could offer more protection."

"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."

"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."

"I would like to see better protection such as prevention from hacker attacks and fake websites."

"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."

"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."

"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved. Sometimes, it can turn a good file into a suspicious file."

More Avast Business Hub cons

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"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."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"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."

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"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."

"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 solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"Very costly product."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are no costs other than licensing."

"I am using the free version."

"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."

"I am using the free version of Avast."

"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."

"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"The pricing is high."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
