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.

A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system

The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments

The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is a stable solution."

"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."

"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."

"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."

"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."

"Technical support is excellent."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."

"The feature that stands out the most is that when someone clicks on a link in an email... [if] that link is malicious and it has some malware or keylogger attached to it, when it opens up in that Bromium virtualized browser, there's no chance of it actually being on the machine and running, because as soon as they click that "X" in the upper right-hand side of the browser, everything just vanishes. That is an added plus."

"It has reduced the number of virus and malware incidents and calls we have received compared to prior to deploying this product, and our overall security posture has improved."

"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."

"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."

"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."

"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."

"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."

"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."

Cons

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"Product might have some bugs."

"The price could be a little lower."

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."

"The restore feed needs improvement."

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."

"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms."

"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."

"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."

"The tool behaves differently when I ported to Windows 11."

"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."

"When you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day."

More HP Wolf Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"It is an expensive solution."

"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."

"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."

"The product came as a bundle with the machine."

"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."
