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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network."
"Our organization was able to use the analytics and report information to figure out any risk exposure in a remote workspace of mobile and VPN access and email and endpoint security."
"Check Point Antivirus is valuable due to its autonomous threat prevention system, which is consistently up-to-date and highly reliable with excellent performance at scale."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."
"Endpoint protection is valuable. Stability is good, and the product is well-designed for security needs."
"It features strong AI-based threat prevention and security management, making it a solid choice for end users."
"By acquiring this tool, companies will have a robust and reliable solution for endpoint protection."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."
"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."
"Speed"
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
 

Cons

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"Pattern-based security is not the latest architecture and it is insufficient because every day, there are approximately 380,000 new vulnerabilities and threats."
"What's missing in Check Point Antivirus is the EDL feature."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"It's very basic from what I see. It's not a full MDM solution and it's restricted with other MDM provisions."
"I think Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved as I dislike the management interface because it's not intuitive, it lacks real-time reporting without configuring smart events, and it made administration less efficient."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The antivirus could be improved in terms of the resources it consumes, particularly regarding CPU and memory usage. We've encountered issues with some of our firewalls, leading us to turn off the antivirus feature due to its heavy resource consumption."
"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"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."

"Check Point Antivirus is the most economical solution."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"We are paying 2,50,000 Sri Lankan Rupees annually which is the fixed charge."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
