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.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The reporting feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"It's a stable solution; we don't have any issues constantly needing to be resolved, it just works."
"We are very satisfied with the product."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"Since implementing this solution, we have not had any trouble with malware."
"The most valuable part of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its overall effectiveness as a good and decent security solution, providing comprehensive security which improves protection for devices significantly."
 

Cons

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"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."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"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 categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"Although the antivirus solution is so good that we've never suffered from an attack, we've had a few problems with false positives where they weren't correct."
"I would like to see better data protection, for instance using fingerprints to log in."
"I would rate Panda Adaptive Defense 360 overall eight points because I still try to find another solution that is easier for me, which can provide what I currently have in Panda Adaptive Defense 360."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"Needs a service desk system to link up with endpoint protection and email protection."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
Information not available
"The product is available at a high price."
"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The price is excellent."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
