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.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"It has quite good detection and response features; they are improving continuously."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"At the end of the day, Cynet got the maximum rating."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"Our clients choose Cynet because it is both simple to use and comprehensive."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
 

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"Limited remote connection."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"One client said that they faced an issue with Cynet's vulnerability assessment feature."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"I have had a bit of trouble in the commercial support as a reseller in a country where we started to sell Cynet."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"Very costly product."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
