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

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"For us, the most valuable feature of Check Point Antivirus is the real-time detection scan that monitors files as they are accessed."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has deployed comprehensive security that prevents any external attacks that may be a threat to our internal policies."
"One of the characteristics of this antivirus that is valuable is the detection of ransomware."
"It generates enough visibility in terms of what happens on our equipment."
"Its most outstanding feature is the power to manage everything from a dashboard, a window that is in the cloud, which allows us to manage it from anywhere in the world through any browser, from anywhere."
"Check Point Antivirus is capable of scanning files uploaded from the internet or running through the network via Check Point gateways/clusters."
"What we've gained is more of an understanding of what's on our network."
"The overall features and data loss prevention makes it a valuable product in every way."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Low performance requirements."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."
"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by providing hard disk encryption."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint can be improved by having the capability to integrate with other solutions, as no one has the complete Check Point solution, so integration with other OEMs would be beneficial."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"The solution has limitations if it's hosted on-prem or as a SaaS."
"Other than that, the only other thing I could complain about was that they did this process where they did some type of certificate update on the backend of all of their staff solutions. That created downtime for our VPN clients and they didn't notify us of the certificate update."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints. Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year. You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first."
"The solution is too pricey."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"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."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is an expensive solution. My company's clients pay INR 1,000 for each user of the product, while Check Point also provides an option to pay INR 2,300 for three years."
"I rate Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing a seven out of ten because it is a little high."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
