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

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"The setup is very easy and straightforward."
"I can easily check (in one place) all the logs and data in relation to attacks. It also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"Asset discovery seems to be good."
"SIEM log collection is great, and all of the rules that support updates with maintenance."
"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."
"It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."
 

Cons

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"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."
"I'd like to see a dashboard that's a little more descriptive."
"The GUI needs to improve because it's not user-friendly."
"It would be nice to see some machine learning and monitoring of the configuration in network devices."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."
"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."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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 cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"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."
"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."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
Information not available
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"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."
"The ROI is quite good."
"​The price point is good.​"
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"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 of this solution is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why we selected it over other solutions."
"​The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license.​"
