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

"It is a simple platform to use."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"AlienVault provides a checklist answer when using SIEM."
"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."
"Reports are customized, so you can present them to executives or engineers.​"
"Here we can get file integrity monitoring and a vulnerability assessment tool together with SIEM."
"Undoubtedly having all security core technology under one roof, as provided by the all-in-one USM solution from AlienVault, is a big advantage for day-to-day business security operations."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"I think this has a lot of valuable functions that really could be leveraged quite nicely."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"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 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."
"The price of AT&T AlienVault USM could be reduced."
"They should simplify the HIDS agent reporting/custom rule creation."
"I've been told that AlienVault doesn't have a full version of NES running in there, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if my engineer made it that way. I'm not sure he was completely honest either because we had NES in the environment before. Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."
"The only complex area of the setup was writing the custom scripts."
"More complimentary training needs to be done for use with this tool. If you get into a bind, then it will cost you."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The price was fine."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"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 solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
Information not available
"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."
"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"The ROI is quite good."
"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."
"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."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"Use the AlienVault team. They are helpful and the documentation that they provide is second to none."
