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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively

Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"It is a simple platform to use."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The feature that we find most valuable is the easy way of configuring it via the SmartConsole on Check Point. The configuration is very straightforward and although it has some impact on the firewall CPU and memory, it doesn't impact the IPS, for example. It allows for the scanning of downloaded files from the internet. Scanning files that our users have downloaded to check if they have any virus is the most important thing."

"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."

"My customers choose Check Point Harmony Endpoint because deployment is easier and because it's cost effective and more secure."

"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."

"If you have Check Point firewalls on your infrastructure, this is the best solution to deploy because it's just to enable a Blade."

"The solution is easy to use and easy to manage."

"Harmony is better than Crowd Strike or any other similar solution in that class."

"The real-time threat detection in Check Point Harmony Endpoint helped us catch a ransomware attack early; a user downloaded a file from a spoofed site, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint immediately flagged it, quarantined the file, and alerted our support team, preventing the malware from spreading and saving us from a large downtime."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."

"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."

Cons

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

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"The price could be a little lower."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The dashboarding for Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."

"The issue of licensing is something that I don't like."

"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."

"Inspecting HTTPS traffic requires enabling HTTPS inspection and threat emulation, which can be resource intensive, resulting in performance impact on legitimate traffic also."

"Check Point Antivirus' performance could be faster. It needs to include app-based support to upload screenshots of issues. It needs to add timely and regular updates. The dashboards and reporting features need to offer more efficiency."

"The technical support could be improved."

"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."

"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."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."

"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

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

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"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."

"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."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."

"The solution is too pricey."

"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."

"The price is good."

"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."

"Choosing the correct set of licenses is essential because, without the additional software blade licenses, the Check Point gateways are just a stateful firewall."

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."

"The pricing is very expensive. You need to buy the appliance and subscription as well."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."

"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."
