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

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"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 initial setup isn't too bad."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"Customer Service: The service was excellent and always showing excellent treatment and availability. Technical Support: The service is excellent the support requested really is quick and very efficient"
"The USM is a work horse, no matter what devices or the number of logs we throw at it, the system processes them in real time, correlates the events, and alerts on only events that need human review."
"The most valuable feature is vulnerability management because it gives you insight into your environment to know what systems need to be updated or patched."
"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."
"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."
"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."
"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"Product might have some bugs."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions."
"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."
"My biggest challenge has always been the fine tuning that is sometimes required for some networks."
"There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"USM Anywhere relies a lot on the community putting the data in. Often, you'll right-click on the attack, but nothing will be found. That's a weakness of it."
"ROI has not yet been measured."
"I've experienced frequent slowness, and we had to downgrade to filter out many logs."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want."
"It needs to be easier to deploy switch monitoring."
"It would be great if there was a feature to add in watch lists, like McAfee or QRadar have -- to keep track of IPs, domain, etc. that I have identified as being malicious."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
Information not available
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"The ROI is quite good."
"It's affordable for most customers."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
