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

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"It is easy to use."
"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 auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."
"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 vulnerability scanning is helpful to identify the areas that need patching or fixes installed."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"It has allowed us to see what is happening on our servers."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is good for ELK Stack, the user experience is great because of its architecture. The ELK has a great performance and it has very good speed in the search and Kibana. Additionally, the visuals and dashboards and very nice and customizable."
 

Cons

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"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."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"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."
"The solution already has quite good tools, however, they need better integration tools for linking with Office 365, Google Suite, and so on."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."
"There are scalability issues due to a 60 TB limit, which restricts its use for large customers like banks."
"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"We would like more plugins. This being the main point of improvement which would benefit the users."
"Its reporting tools need improvements. It would be good if they can provide integration with other ticketing systems. Currently, we only have integration with Slack and Jira. It is also a bit slow, and its replication engine can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
Information not available
"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"We pay around $12,000 a year including storage."
"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"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."
"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."
"​The price point is good.​"
