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.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"Technical support is extremely reliable."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture, the ELK has great performance and very good speed in the search and Kibana, and the visuals and dashboards are very nice and customizable."
"This solution can identify many threats inside the organization (compromised endpoints, configuration issues), as well as "outside" threats (botnets, network scanners, web-attacks, etc)."
"Overall, I find that this product is amazing."
"In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models, and you also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well."
"The most valuable aspect of AlienVault is the visibility into the network."
"The solution is stable."
"The low cost of entry SIEM functionality has increased due to network views and network traffic."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The configuration is somewhat complex and the interface a bit non-intuitive."
"Reporting still needs a lot of work, especially on the vulnerability side."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs... The logger can only hold so much data. If they improved that, that would help."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"I had a renegade plugin that was installed by the company who helped me with the initial setup. The plugin was missing a command to rotate logs and would fill my hard drives capacity to full quickly."
"The solution is very user-friendly, but the dashboard could be improved as well as the level of customization."
"I would like to see it be able to run on any hardware via just an installer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
Information not available
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
