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.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Their technical support is actually quite good."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"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 solution is very easy to set up."
"Secure Endpoint has decreased our time to remediate by providing the tools and the integrations we need so we can quickly look across our entire network, look for those threats, and actually make good decisions."
"It is a very stable program."
"We have seen a measurable decrease in the mean time to detect or respond to threats by 90 percent, blocking a vast majority of threats."
"It is reasonably easy to remediate issues using Cisco Secure Endpoint, in part because I don't have to visit the physical machines to remediate them, and as such, the time it takes for remediation has been decreased."
"The solution makes it possible to see a threat once and block it everywhere across all endpoints and the entire security platform. It has the ability to block right down to the file and application level across all devices based on policies, such as, blacklisting and whitelisting of software and applications. This is good. Its strength is the ability to identify threats very quickly, then lock them and the network down and block the threats across the organization and all devices, which is what you want. You don't want to be spending time working out how to block something. You want to block something very quickly, letting that flow through to all the devices and avoiding the same scenario on different operating systems."
"This solution has allowed us to segment the organization to provide better security."
"The product itself is pretty reliable. The security features that it has make it reliable."
"There are several valuable features including strong prevention and exceptional reporting capabilities."
 

Cons

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"There are some false positives."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The pricing policy could be more competitive, similar to Cisco's offerings."
"The solution needs more in-depth analytics."
"We don't have issues. We think that Cisco covers all of the security aspects on the market. They continue to innovate in the right way."
"I would recommend that the solution offer more availability in terms of the product portfolio and integration with third-party products."
"In Orbital, there are tons of prebuilt queries, but there is not a lot of information in lay terms."
"The thing I hate the most, which they have not fixed, is when it creates duplicate entries within a console. If you have a computer and you upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, or you upgrade your agent from version 6 to 7, it creates a new instance in there instead of updating the information. Instead of paying a license for one computer, I have to license two computers until I manually go in, search for all the duplicate entries, and clean them out myself."
"The product does not provide options like tunnel creation or virtual appliances."
"The reporting and analytics areas of the solution need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"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 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."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"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 pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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."
"​Pricing can be more expensive than similar software that does less functionality, but not recognized by customers.​"
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis and I am happy with the pricing."
"The solution's price is about the same as that of Palo Alto solutions."
"It can always be cheaper."
"There are a couple of different consumption models: Pay up front, or if you have an enterprise agreement, you can do a monthly thing. Check your licensing possibilities and see what's best for your organization."
"In our case, it is a straightforward annual payment through our Enterprise Agreement."
"It is an expensive solution."
"My company does make annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cisco Secure Endpoint is a little bit expensive."
