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.

Ransomware protection has made data security reliable and efficient

There are not many disadvantages, but they need to do some work on DLP integration. Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses. The main areas for improvement are support responsiveness and the additional enhancement with the DLP integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time."

"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."

"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The solution offers a ransomware vaccine which has been very beneficial to our organization."

"The solution protects us so that we have regular security from attacks."

"It gives you a really good balanced portfolio to work with for your machines, not just on the malware protection and the firewall protection, but the virtual container, the ability to manage endpoints, the ability to manage patches."

"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

"It really protects and does its job; it totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."

"If you get attacked, your files will be safe, and you can work on your infected files."

"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice."

"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."

Cons

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Customer service needs a lot of improvement. They never replied or responded to our queries over the three years we've used it."

"There needs to be better integration with the environment, especially for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft."

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program."

"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."

"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."

"Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."

"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."

"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."

"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."

"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."

"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"The product is pricey."

"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."

"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The product can be considered fairly cheap."
