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.

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"CylancePROTECT works really well with the way we work."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The quick installation would be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The stability is perfect, and it is leaps and bounds beyond our previous solution by McAfee."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."
"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."
 

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information."
"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."
"If they can improve the technical support SLA, that aspect of the product will be much appreciated."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"I would like to see a little bit of additional reporting or insight as to what it is doing exactly."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The user interface could be improved, it's very outdated."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"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."
"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"​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."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
