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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

"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."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."

"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."

"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."

"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."

"The quick installation would be the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"My advice to someone considering this solution is that it's a popular product and you should really go for it."

"This technology is very good, very stable, and we have great trust in it and what it delivers."

"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

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

"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."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"I would rate it an 8 rather than a 10 mainly because there is still room to improve the user experience around complex investigations, including alert tuning and third-party integration."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"There's an overall lack of features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."

"The solution should implement AI in the product."

"I would like to see a little bit of additional reporting or insight as to what it is doing exactly."

"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions."

"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."

"The initial setup was quite complicated, it took us a month or two with the reseller doing a good job assisting us with the initial configuration."

"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

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

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"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."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"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 price was fine."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."

"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."

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."

"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."

"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
