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.

Platform Engineer Ii at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Network visibility has improved and detects zero-day threats and lateral movement swiftly
Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed.I would like to see more telemetry coming in from the risk-based factor so that there should be risk-based tagging across all assets within the organization, specifically focusing on threats related to lateral movement and ransomware. This risk-based scoring is required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"Trend Vision One - Network Security has positively impacted my organization as our network operations team has found it very useful for monitoring all threats coming in via the network layer and taking swift actions compared to earlier."
 

Cons

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"There are some false positives."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"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."
