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

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management."
"AlienVault provided the best bang for buck."
"The UI is clean and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security management for PCI DSS."
"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."
"AlienVault provides you with a unified view for all aspects of what is going on in your environment."
"From my perspective, it saves me about two to seven hours weekly, as now I can easily check in one place all the logs and data in relation to attacks, and it also gives me an overview if a server is not configured properly."
"We have a better detection rate for malware and other cyber-attacks, and it really helps when USM is integrated in the incident response plan."
 

Cons

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"There are some false positives."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"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."
"It would be hard for any legitimate MSSP to use it."
"There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."
"I knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"It is a lot of work to get the software configured and set up properly."
"One area that has room for improvement is storage. AllienVault is a good place to put logs, but sometimes it's a tough place to go get logs."
"IPv6 not supported Correlate with external logs from other sources makes little bit difficult to work"
"There are many reports included but would be nice to have better access to the data."
"The reporting is mediocre and is something that needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"Very costly product."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
Information not available
"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"
"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"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's saved security costs."
"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."
