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

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

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"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."

"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"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."

"It allows us to stop activation windows."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."

"It is stable, and the performance is good."

"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."

"It offers an easy initial setup."

"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

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"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."

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

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

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Product might have some bugs."

"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."

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

"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."

"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."

"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."

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

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

"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."

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

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"The price was fine."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"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."

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."

"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."
