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

"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

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

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"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."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

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

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

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

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."

"The interface is great."

"It is easy to manage."

"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."

"The reporting feature is valuable."

"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."

"I've found it's got excellent web protection."

"What is really great about Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its console in the cloud, and it can keep the inventory of software in the PC."

"It offers an easy initial setup."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

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

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

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

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

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."

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

"Their MacOS support isn't that good."

"The implementation was difficult."

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

"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."

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

"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

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"The price was fine."

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

"The product is available at a high price."

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

"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."

"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 is excellent."
