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

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"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."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The most valuable feature in AT&T AlienVault USM is the reporting."
"OTX is a great module that lets staff maintain and monitor updates regarding events in the infrastructure and takes decision to improve the security perimeter."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"The vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
"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."
"AlienVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."
"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."
 

Cons

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"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."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"There are some false positives."
"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."
"Upgrading the network cards (from 1GB to 10GB) was not “supported” on the appliance, so we had to purchase a second one as a sensor."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"I've experienced frequent slowness, and we had to downgrade to filter out many logs."
"One of the problems we had with stability was a problem of our own."
"More information about what the alerts mean and how they are derived would be useful when determining their significance."
"IPv6 not supported Correlate with external logs from other sources makes little bit difficult to work"
"The biggest improvement they could do is to provide full support for IPv6 addressing."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"I am using the Community edition."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
Information not available
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"​The price point is good.​"
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"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 saved security costs."
