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.

Strong security structure has supported fast Mac and iOS administration with minimal IT effort

One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications. I noticed that some of the niche apps our data software firm needs were not in the regular library. We were able to use the custom app feature to create those apps ourselves, but I would love it if Kandji could expand the library. I also wish Kandji could lock down different ports on MacBooks based on which ones we wanted to shut down, and I hope there is an easier way to sandbox people's bring your own device devices because when we're doing SOC 2, it really wants us to sandbox things so that if someone were to take a device that is not ours, we could delete just our data off there and not theirs. An improvement needed for Kandji would be the ability to remote into devices. I would appreciate something that is really reliable for that without having to buy third-party software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

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

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"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

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"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."

"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it helps us be more secure and enforce compliance."

"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because it was very easy to implement and manage all of our devices, especially when we manage with the ISO and SOC 2 certifications that we need for our organization."

"Kandji offers excellent features, including the ability to erase devices remotely without needing to be in front of the laptop."

"Kandji has positively impacted my organization by providing remote and quick support."

"Kandji has positively impacted my organization because many things happen through Kandji, especially on the laptops and desktops at the infrastructure workspace level."

"I have seen a return on investment with Kandji, as I save time."

"Kandji has positively impacted our organization by making it so we feel confident in our security structure, and we feel confident that we can pass SOC 2 every year because we know that Kandji is doing what it says it's doing."

"The customer support is the best I have ever seen."

More Kandji pros

Cons

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"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."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"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."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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 have noticed is that Kandji is mainly for Mac devices."

"There are certain limitations with blueprints where each machine can only have one or must have a blueprint, which is frustrating since certain machines may not need to have a blueprint straight away for testing."

"While I do not have anything specific to add about the features, I do think there is a lack of flexibility in Kandji."

"In Kandji, I see a drawback related to the remote wipe function."

"One area for improvement for Kandji would be having a bigger suite of applications."

"I think Kandji could be improved with a better UI."

"The Windows part needs a lot of work."

"I rated Kandji an eight because the laptop needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to erase it."

More Kandji cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"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."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The price was fine."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
