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.

Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"The anti-ransomware blade is great; it stops device encryption automatically and has caught hundreds of cases on client laptops."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The real-time threat prevention capabilities stand out as a fortress against malware, ransomware, and evolving cyber threats, offering a proactive defense that safeguards our organization's critical assets."
"Our administrative processes have been protected by this great EDR system, and all the devices used in our company are monitored by a system that is responsible for eliminating threats before they react."
"It has improved the detection of malware."
"The solution offers multiple features in one solution, along with data detection."
"I have found the Zero phishing and IPS features the most useful in Check Point Harmony Endpoint, and additionally, threat emulation sandboxing is effective."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are its comprehensive and proactive approach; these features stand out because it's very lightweight and has very good anti-ransomware protection."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
 

Cons

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"I choose nine out of ten because apart from the licensing cost, everything is great."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."
"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The solution is expensive."
