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.

Ransomware protection has made data security reliable and efficient

There are not many disadvantages, but they need to do some work on DLP integration. Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses. The main areas for improvement are support responsiveness and the additional enhancement with the DLP integration.

Easy to upgrade and manage but needs better reporting

There just was a lot about it that I didn't like. For blocking certain items, such as USBs, we felt like it was slowing down the network too much. Therefore we utilized a GPO for blocking things like that instead. Our environment was big and I didn't feel like the console did a good enough job. We outgrew the product. I've been asking for a change for a couple of years now, and it finally got approved. In terms of the console, I had over 2000 endpoints in there and there wasn't even a search feature for me to look through them. If I had to find where a policy was I had to sort in alphabetical order to find an endpoint that I wanted. They need to offer a search function within the console - maybe something that shows a "last connected" notice. That way, it's easier to manage obsolete machines that you don't need anymore. They had a very vague setting, like after so many days, when do you want us to remove these, you'd see them. I just wish the console was a little more responsive when I would do commands. The reports could have been better. The product would show a lot of endpoints as not communicating. That was another pain point. We constantly had to run an SQL query to clean up the database as I would know immediately when I was in the console, that it just wasn't being responsive. I could tell I was being given bad data and that we had to clean up the database. As soon as I would clean up that database, it was like a purging of the SQL database and it would become a lot more responsive. The problem was that our environment was too big. We're going through a growth spurt right now. In the end, the solution is small and much better suited for a small business. We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for. The product is based on an older model of signature files. It doesn't use any artificial intelligence or anything. It was slow to refresh the policies and computer scans. The larger we got, the more it became an issue. If a company stayed small, I'm not sure if they would have noticed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."

"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice."

"We are using the latest version of the solution within our organization, and we have been very satisfied with it overall."

"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

"It really protects and does its job; it totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."

"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."

"It's stable and reliable."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."

"Technical support was always very helpful and responsive."

"It has improved the way our organization functions, made things run faster in our company, and has done a fantastic job of keeping our networks free of virus."

"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."

Cons

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management."

"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."

"The onboarding process could be better."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"There could be MDRM features added to the product."

"Their support is not very good because they are very late to reply."

"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."

"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."

"Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses."

"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."

"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."

"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."

"Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time."

"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."

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."

"The price was fine."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"I rate Comodo’s pricing a four out of ten."

"The product is pricey."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The product can be considered fairly cheap."

"The product is very reasonably priced."

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"It was about 35 or 40 bucks per year for the endpoint."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is inexpensive."

"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
