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

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The most useful feature is the customization for alarms, alerts, and reports."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
"Alien Vault had the best set up for MSPs — the way they are set up for billing and the way they set up their USM account."
"We have a better detection rate for malware and other cyber-attacks, and it really helps when USM is integrated in the incident response plan."
"I highly recommend AlienVault USM for anybody that is seeking a SIEM solution that is easy to implement and easy to manage."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"AlienVault is an amazing product that I would highly recommend."
"Monitoring customer's critical network is now almost a one man job."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"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. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"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 think expanding their vendor-specific plugins would beneficial."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"The log query capability is pretty restrictive and I find myself searching through raw logs via command line more often than the GUI."
"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"I would say the menus could use some tweaking and custom rule creation could be made simpler."
"This solution could be easier to use. It is hard for some people to understand, and they need to get training and certification just to understand what it's showing them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"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."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
Information not available
"The ROI is quite good."
"It has good pricing."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"​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."
"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"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."
