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 is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"Customer Service: There is excellent customer service and we have never had a complaint."
"The product is now stable and it is a Swiss army knife packed with lot of tools."
"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."
"Overall, I find that this product is amazing."
"The product has been very stable."
"We’ve had 100% uptime since installation."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of AlienVault is the visibility into the network."
 

Cons

"This is a very costly product."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"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 UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"The next release will include cloud security and it will support a hybrid IT environment, furthermore the OTX has a great added value but it will help when there is more OTX information in the database."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"Technical Support: We received average support. As observed, the support engineers take a long time for issue resolution."
"Those tools could be improved because AlienVault is a SIEM, and it added all these other features."
"They should simplify the HIDS agent reporting/custom rule creation."
"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."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"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."
Information not available
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
"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."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
"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."
"I rate the price of AT&T AlienVault USM a four out of five."
"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
