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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"The solution's stability is generally good."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"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."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."
"Maybe logs are the problem, as the database query is too slow. If you want to search something, you need time to find it."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"they seem to have bugs from time to time that go unfixed for a while and that is frustrating. I'm not saying the product needs to be bug-free, but they need to be responsive to bugs."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"I am using the Community edition."
Information not available
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"It has good pricing."
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
"It's affordable for most customers."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
