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 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 anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"AlienVault has allowed us to help our customers satisfy compliance needs around logging and monitoring (HIPAA, PCI, etc.) and has also provided a comprehensive platform that goes beyond just being a SIEM."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"On any given day I could give you a different answer regarding the most valuable features of the product. The feature that is most important is the fact that it has a lot of features, that it's not just a log collection and correlation system, that it has a lot of other components built in. The bundle of features is really the killer feature."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
"AlienVault gave our organization a centralized tool to manage our security with its intrusion detection, asset management, vulnerability assessments, along with all of its other features, it has become an invaluable asset for our small organization."
"AlienVault provides us with a very easy to use, central spot to view log files, and take appropriate action."
 

Cons

"This is a very costly product."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"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 functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"I would say the menus could use some tweaking and custom rule creation could be made simpler."
"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 knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"Vendor. Not the best."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The web UI can be clunky at times, with poor error handling."
"We would love to be able to create custom rules based on a series of events, to create rule-sets where, for example, failed logins to the VPN Server are logged and then when a successful attempt follows soon after, it triggers an alarm for a Brute Force."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"This is an expensive solution."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"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."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
Information not available
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"​The price point is good.​"
