Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation
I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"I think there's quite a good balance in everything with WatchGuard EPDR, with tools to do things and watch what's happening, and everything is in the same tools and quite well designed or thought about how to do things, which is the reason I've been enjoying them."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The solution itself is great."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."
"The patch management module is very important."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"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."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Limited remote connection."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"Panda is the most painful endpoint solution I've ever had to work with except SentinelOne."
"The product can improve in several ways."
"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."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
Information not available
"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."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The price is excellent."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
