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.

Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

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.

Sec consultant at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Has supported consistent deployment across departments but needs better OS compatibility and detection performance

I am not really looking for a new solution, actually, I was preparing for an interview and wanted to have a comparison between both tools. I have not worked with any of these products before, but we had a training demonstration yesterday with Dynatrace, and I have investigated the Wiz solution better. In terms of experience, it will be my first time with CDR. I am working with something for EDR, specifically, we have an EDR, it's VMware Carbon Black Cloud. They have a hybrid environment, both on-prem and cloud. I would usually recommend this product for big companies, because it's not cheap, so only big companies would I expect to pay for that. The review rating for VMware Carbon Black Cloud is 6 out of 10.

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

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

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."

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."

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"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."

"With this solution, you can do so remotely; this is valuable because you don't have to bring the computer onsite to analyze it and it decreases response time by about 40 percent."

"Mostly what we are using is CB Response, because we have a product on Carbon Black CB Response."

"The detection response and quarantining are very good features."

"The enhanced logging and data analysis of the incident response and investigation components allowed us to quickly identify and resolve security issues before they could spread."

"What we mainly find valuable in the product is exactly what our use case is, as we use Carbon Black for the intrusion alerts and quarantine."

"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network."

"The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good."

"Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud."

More VMware Carbon Black Cloud pros

Cons

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

"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."

"This is a very costly product."

"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."

"It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server. If the primary server goes down, you need a new one. It's not available at the same time, however. It's not automatically swapped from one server to another."

"The solution's support could be improved."

"The solution can only handle about 500 bans or blocks."

"This product has room for improvement in the cloud console. The cloud console has a lot of bugs and issues in the analysis part."

"It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server."

"The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time."

"The threat intelligence feed could use some fine tweaking."

"We are subscribed to FS-ISAC threat indicator, but have been unsuccessful in adding it to our alliance feeds."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"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."

"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."

"The price was fine."

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

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

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

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 solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."

"You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."

"Pricing for this solution could be made lower."

"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."

"We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."

"Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
