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 found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"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."
"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"AlienVault is an amazing product that I would highly recommend."
"I highly recommend AlienVault USM for anybody that is seeking a SIEM solution that is easy to implement and easy to manage."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment that it provides to users. The integrations that the product has with third-party applications are useful."
"The feature that I liked the most is that they have a vulnerability assessment package that comes along with the SIEM solution. So, whenever I find any threat or alert for any of the devices or servers, I could immediately initiate a vulnerability assessment scan on that machine. That is one of a kind. The price at which AlienVault operates is also valuable."
"I think this has a lot of valuable functions that really could be leveraged quite nicely."
"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."
"We used, tested, and tried several solutions prior to this solution; this solution answered too many questions under one reasonable cost, as opposed to piecemealing everything together for more money."
 

Cons

"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."
"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."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"Yet, a lot of the releases break things that are used."
"Creating directives is a pain on its own, but editing them can be a nightmare filled with tedious unnecessary steps."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"I've experienced frequent slowness, and we had to downgrade to filter out many logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
Information not available
"It is affordable, and it also has many features that the premium products such as ArcSight and QRadar have. It is a very good platform for a SIEM solution. Everything is included in the price."
"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."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"The ROI is quite good."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"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."
