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.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts

I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"The tool is easy to use."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."

"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."

"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."

"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."

"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."

"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."

"Great technical support staff."

"The product's most valuable features are the zero-trust application service and its capability to detect threats and attacks."

"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

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."

"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."

"An area for improvement would be the software deployment to seamlessly deploy software packages across multiple machines simultaneously, and to enhance the remote monitoring capabilities."

"They could have more reports."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."

"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."

"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."

"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."

"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool's price is moderate."

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

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

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

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"Very costly product."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."

"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
