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 initial setup is easy."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

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

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

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 is easy to manage."

"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."

"It allows us to stop activation windows."

"It offers an easy initial setup."

"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 most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."

"The dashboard management feature is valuable."

"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."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"The product's pricing could be better."

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

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

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."

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

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

"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."

"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."

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

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."

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

"I would rate Panda Adaptive Defense 360 overall eight points because I still try to find another solution that is easier for me, which can provide what I currently have in Panda Adaptive Defense 360."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."

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

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

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

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"This is an expensive solution."

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."

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

"The product is available at a high price."

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

"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."

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

"The price is excellent."

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