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 most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"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

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I am using the Community edition."
