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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

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

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

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

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

"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."

"Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] has positively impacted our organization because we were able to test and implement changes confidently, knowing that if something goes wrong, we can roll back the changes."

"It is a stable solution."

"Technical support is excellent."

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

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

Cons

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

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."

"Deployment complexity is higher in Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL], and the user interface could be improved significantly."

"The restore feed needs improvement."

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

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

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

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

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

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
