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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"Has great threat detection capabilities."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that they have the lightest agent, as it is only six MBs, installs in a matter of seconds, is very lightweight, and has a very minimal, negligible performance impact on the machine and endpoints."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

Cons

"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."

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

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"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."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"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."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Very costly product."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"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."
