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 consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support

A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect."

"The ease of deployment has been good."

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"SonicWall Capture Client provides dual protection through two multi-engines: SonicWall Capture Client sandboxing and SentinelOne agent, with features like content blocking, real-time 24/7 protection without signature updates, and advanced machine learning that eliminates concerns about manual updates, making it more protective and easier to deploy."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"Limited remote connection."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."

"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."

"They should improve their user interface."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"The implementation is not easy."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"We weren't very happy with the product itself and therefore don't know if it is worth it to spend the money we have on it."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The price was fine."

"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."

"Very costly product."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"It has a yearly renewal."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."

"The product is very expensive."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
