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

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"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 solution's stability is generally good."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

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."

"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."

"What I appreciate the most about WatchGuard EPDR is that with the managed detection and response system, when there is an alert about the product running, the turnaround time for enabling it is less than two hours."

"The most valuable part of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its overall effectiveness as a good and decent security solution, providing comprehensive security which improves protection for devices significantly."

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

"I can put tons of load on it."

"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."

"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."

"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."

Cons

"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"Their MacOS support isn't that good."

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

"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."

"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."

"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."

"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."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."

"They could have more reports."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

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."

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

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

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

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

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."

"The product is available at a high price."

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