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.

Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"Cynet has an excellent solution from a technical standpoint, but they also have a great support system that extends to the attack itself."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The solution provided an immediate return on investment; we've stopped several cyberattacks within hours, and we stopped one ongoing cyberattack within one day of deploying to a new client."
"The automated response capability in SentinelOne enhances security operations. It means I don't have to worry about having too many security people watching it because you can automate a lot of the tasks."
 

Cons

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"They're a young company and very responsive but they probably need to mature in their processes."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The performance utilization on the device that it's monitoring. This aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"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."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"The pricing was good."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten; one is very expensive, and ten is an absolutely cheap product."
