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

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy."
"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a Jack-of-All Trades solution, providing SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, and more under one USM platform, which none of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight or McAfee can boast of with such a diverse feature set."
"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."
"AlienVault is the more appropriate solution, it's flexible, Linux based, and contains a large number of open source solutions."
"The most valuable aspect of AlienVault is the visibility into the network."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"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."
"The best feature of this product is the ease of use. It is extremely easy to set up and get going. This is a very useful tool for a small organization."
 

Cons

"The onboarding process could be better."
"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."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"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."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"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."
"Product stability: The biggest issue we have seen with the product is its poor stability. Every version upgrade is a nightmare."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."
"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"It would be great if there was a feature to add in watch lists, like McAfee or QRadar have -- to keep track of IPs, domain, etc. that I have identified as being malicious."
"Technical Support: We received average support. As observed, the support engineers take a long time for issue resolution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price was fine."
Information not available
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"​The price point is good.​"
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"The ROI is quite good."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
