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.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"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."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use, and I like the pre-execution method of protection that prevents infection."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"The initial endpoint cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year), but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution of Cylance endpoint protection provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"We have been trained to learn how to use the product and now we have a very good experience with it."
"With Cylance AI and Machine Learning, it's ensuring that all types of malware, PUP (Potential Unwanted Programs) and Memory Protection your endpoint devices are fully protected, even with day zero threats."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"If you get attacked, your files will be safe, and you can work on your infected files."
"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."
"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
"The price of this product should be lower."
"It's a cost-effective solution"
"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."
"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The product is pricey."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
