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

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"CylancePROTECT is going to tell you if there are any issues and you are going to be able to see everything from one single dashboard."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"We have been trained to learn how to use the product and now we have a very good experience with it."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."
"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"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."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
 

Cons

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"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."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"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 technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"I would like to see a little bit of additional reporting or insight as to what it is doing exactly."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"The user interface could be improved, it's very outdated."
"CylancePROTECT's technical support is non-existent."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"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."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Very costly product."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
