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.

A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

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 is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"Their technical support is actually quite good."
"The resetting option and creating a password is a very useful on-the-go feature, which gives a user a good experience, obviously a hassle-free experience."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is Harmony Endpoint's encapsulation system which captures the whole system and protects it against other functions. It is really good for the Check Point Harmony specialists."
"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."
"During a ransomware attack that targeted several laptops, Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately isolated the affected device and blocked the malicious process before it could spread."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with CheckPoint's firewalls. You can have one port, and follow the logs from both Endpoint and firewall security."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"There is almost no impact on the security Gateway/Cluster performance after the activation of the blade, especially if you don't scan nested archives."
"This solution is consistently implemented as part of the organization's endpoint security solution, combining global threat intelligence and next-generation advanced threat prevention engines."
"For us, the most valuable feature of Check Point Antivirus is the real-time detection scan that monitors files as they are accessed."
 

Cons

"Managing the product should be easier."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"One thing I can suggest for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is that the endpoint agent is very heavy, and sometimes it feels like due to the heavy endpoint size, our PC is slow, so that can be improved."
"The pricing for Check Point Antivirus is a bit higher compared to other vendors or standalone antivirus options, and my request to the company is to consider reducing the licensing costs."
"Some users have reported high resource consumption, leading to performance issues on devices with limited hardware capability."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"I would like to be able to see this integration of device analysis and verification - not just in native-integrated solutions - for Linux and iOS mobile devices, which are today a part of the larger group of devices and solutions that we have available."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"I am using the Community edition."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"Initial monies replacing all AVs with a single product is about £10k."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
