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 one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

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

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"The solution's stability is generally good."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

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."

"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."

"The reporting feature is valuable."

"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."

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

"The patch management module is very important."

"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 best features of WatchGuard EPDR are the remote management features; we currently use it to set a default admin account on all machines through the console, which was a good feature that I was not even aware of until a colleague used it over the last two weeks to implement that change."

"It allows us to stop activation windows."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

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

"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."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

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."

"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."

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

"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."

"I would like to see better data protection."

"The implementation was difficult."

"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."

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

"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

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

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

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

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."

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

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

"The product is available at a high price."

"The price is excellent."

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

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

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

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