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.

Successfully manage endpoint security and compliance while facing integration challenges
I have not come across any difficulties. I integrated it with ILMT (IBM License Metric Tool). It lets us identify all software being used in my organization with BigFix. It provides input of all types of software being used, including details and information about hardware specifications. I am more involved in software licensing and procurement, so I utilize this tool for procuring more licenses if needed for our company. After integration, we get different dashboards showcasing our IBM infrastructure, highlighting various issues in our environment that we can mitigate. I recommend BigFix to others. I rate BigFix a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"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."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"We are able to use BigFix through API connections to automate and reduce resources and time. The product's been great for us. It's increased the security posture ten-fold and it's increased our visibility across our endpoints enormously."
"We found the implementation partner to be very supportive in terms of explaining and training the in-house resources and deploying the solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are patching and integration with vulnerability scanners."
"Patch Management for a variety of operating systems makes it valuable as we can rely on a single tool for obtaining patch compliance of the entire compute infrastructure."
"I think BigFix is a very good solution, and I rate it ten out of ten."
"BigFix technical support is good."
"This has very much improved our organization by saving time to deploy thousands of endpoints to our customers."
"I would advise someone considering this product to go for it. It's easy to use, cheaper than the value, and there is tons and tons of support from the BigFix community. With almost every challenge we have someone who has encountered it, and you will have a solution right away."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The convenience has been great."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Needs to improve Network Access Protection (NAP) technologies to prevent computers with vulnerabilities from gaining access to networks."
"They don't have a proper mobile device management capability. They're working on it, however, that's the one thing that needs improvement so that you can have full unified endpoint management."
"I would like to see the integration of user security between the different products to be improved. There's separate security for compliance, separate security for web reports, and the console, and you have to manage those things separately."
"The one feature that I would have like to see included (I know it is coming in the next release), is the block function of the newly announced BigFix Detect module."
"I have concerns about BigFix's pricing, which I find to be slightly on the higher side."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"I would like to see the Self Service section made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"User management could be improved."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"You get what we call the Platform Edition, which you get for free. The patch service is maybe $0.50 per workstation per month. Then there's the basic server cost, which is about $1.50 per server per month. You also get into Lifecycle which does power management, OSD remote control, and those types of things, and that might be about 10 times the price - which works out to about $13 per server and, maybe $5 per workstation per month."
"The price is very fair."
"I would stay with the Managed Virtual Server license model, which is a 1-to-1 license per OS whether it is virtual or physical."
"The price of BigFix could be lower. However, I am always seeking a lower price."
"Its price is very reasonable."
"We have a subscription-based contract with BigFix."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing one out of ten."
"So, the pricing is slightly more expensive than the others. I have to keep buying licenses every time I add a new device."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
