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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

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

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"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."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The resetting option and creating a password is a very useful on-the-go feature, which gives a user a good experience, obviously a hassle-free experience."

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"I think this has a lot of valuable functions that really could be leveraged quite nicely."

"The solution is stable."

"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."

"AlienVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."

"Here we can get file integrity monitoring and a vulnerability assessment tool together with SIEM."

"The setup of AlienVault is extremely easy; it is very simple to understand for someone who is trying a SIEM solution for the first time, and the integration of servers and other devices is extremely easy, as it is a piece of cake where you just double-click and start, and you are up and running."

"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."

"The all-in-one source for the needs of compliance has put everything into one location without the need of other applications and tools to accomplish the tasks."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"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 solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"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."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

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 solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."

"Customer service is 4/10 - they need to provide faster responses to emails."

"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."

"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."

"We would love to be able to create custom rules based on a series of events, to create rule-sets where, for example, failed logins to the VPN Server are logged and then when a successful attempt follows soon after, it triggers an alarm for a Brute Force."

"Although they use machine learning, the algorithms that they use are graph-based."

"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."

"The configuration is somewhat complex and the interface a bit non-intuitive."

"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."

"Very costly product."

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

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

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

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

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

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 ROI is quite good."

"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."

"Negotiate the best package for your environment."

"It's saved security costs."

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."

"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."

"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
