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.

Cloud-native threat detection has improved incident investigations and now reduces breach risk
We have covered most of the features over the past three years and look forward to discovering more as we work closely with the ExtraHop technical team, who are open to sharing what they have developed. Pricing is on the higher side, typically based on load, volume of traffic, and deployment scale. The advanced detection capabilities provide significant value in reducing investigation time, making the licensing and pricing acceptable for larger organizations. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360's SaaS environment is well-suited for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, effectively addressing real-life scenarios involving east-west and north-south traffic. The platform is recommended for large organizations in need of comprehensive detection capabilities. I would rate this product overall as an 8 out of 10.

Unified threat detection has improved investigations and now speeds up incident response
While Trellix XDR is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments. Some additional advanced features also have a learning curve and may require extra training for security teams to fully utilize them. Moreover, reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible, allowing users to create highly customized views and reports more easily. There are also areas that could optimize detection surveys. Addressing these areas would further enhance the overall experience and operational effectiveness. One additional improvement would be deeper integration with a wider range of third-party security tools and cloud platforms. While Trellix XDR integrates with many solutions, simplifying the integration management would help organizations with complex security ecosystems. I would like to see more out-of-the-box reports and executive-level dashboards that make it easier to communicate security metrics to leadership. Finally, continuous enhancement to automation and AI-driven threat prioritization would further reduce analysts' workflow and improve response effectiveness. Overall, these are areas that need refinement rather than being major concerns, as the platform still delivers strong security and operational value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"It stands out for its intuitive and efficient user interface, robust detection capabilities with minimal false positives, and the ability to handle encrypted traffic, making it a valuable asset for network security and management."
"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments."
"It is scalable."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has positively impacted my organization by helping us detect abnormal activity on our network that we could not detect through our SIEM or XDR platform."
"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."
"The AI-assisted troubleshooting and threat hunting capabilities, along with the machine learning functionality, are the biggest advantages of Trellix XDR that stand out for me."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively as it's a security solution that protects us from threats."
"Since implementing Trellix XDR, we have seen improvement in our threat detection and incident response capability."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively because time was definitely saved because of the automated response, and the positive impact was definitely there in terms of both time saved and people being cut down from the team to have a more efficient and cost-saving team."
"Trellix's technical support is helpful."
"The best features of Trellix XDR are the in-depth analysis it provides."
 

Cons

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"Their professional service can be improved."
"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."
"There needs to be more support."
"One challenge with ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is its pricing, which tends to be comparatively high in the marketplace."
"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."
"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."
"The main area regarding Trellix XDR improvement is that setup and tuning can be complex because it requires a skilled analyst based on utilization."
"Price is the main area for improvement in the product."
"We have left Trellix XDR. The pricing was the main factor because the features were not there and they were charging more from us."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"Customer support is average, depending on who the call gets to, escalation, and how quickly they respond."
"Another reason is that their support sometimes is poor. For example, I had experience when my ticket was opened for a few months, and I pinged them every week, and they haven't responded to me."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it aligns with the market average, indicating a competitive pricing level."
