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

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, with playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The best thing about AlienVault USM is it being a “Jack-of-All Trades” solution. It provides SIEM, HIDS/NIDS, FIM, NetFlow, Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, etc., under one USM platform. None of the commercial SIEM vendors like ArcSight, McAfee, etc., can boast of such a diverse feature set."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"Our main focus was intrusion detection, alerts, and correlation. It's easy to use AlienVault and integrate it with other alert tools because it includes lots of connectors. Either the tool is already there, or AlienVault will write an API for us if they don't have a connector for the solution that is providing the logs."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"The asset discovery and inventory capabilities in USM Anywhere is quite good."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
 

Cons

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"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."
"This solution could be easier to use."
"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."
"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."
"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."
"The reporting tools are a bit lacking for building reports to give directly to customers, but support has been helpful in giving our requests for new features to the development team and following up with us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
Information not available
"The price of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"The pricing is a good value. The key thing is that for the new product, the licensing of it, is subscription-based and it's based on data. Clients need to be really careful when thinking about that, because odds are they're going to need to put a lot more data into it than what they initially estimate, which is going to drive their subscription costs up."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"​The price point is good.​"
"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
