Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk

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.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress

VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"It is easy to use."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."

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

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

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

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"Using Open API, we were able to freely perform the necessary integration with our other security solutions."

"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."

"The triage feature that shows you the whole kill chain of the attack or malware is useful because it shows how the malware gets into the endpoints and what it has done, and the solution is easy to use and easy to deploy as it is a cloud solution with no appliance needed on-premise."

"The portal is easy to use and manage."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."

"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."

"The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation."

"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint pros

Cons

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"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."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"The GUI could be improved."

"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."

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."

"With the on-prem one, the bug has been reported by the community in early January or February, something like that, at the beginning of the year, and it's still not addressed. They have released two versions since then, and yet neither of them addresses this specific issue."

"Report generation can be improved."

"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."

"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."

"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."

"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."

"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."

"Occasionally, we'll have issues with the latest version and they'll basically tell us that they will improve it in the next iteration. They need to work on their version release quality."

More VMware Carbon Black Endpoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

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 price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."

"The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations."

"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."

"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."

"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."

"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."

"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
