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.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"FortiXDR is valuable for its integration capabilities with one hundred percent compatibility with other vendors in cloud environments like Google, Oracle, and Microsoft."
"The product is stable enough."
"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."
"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is its ability to block clients, providing comprehensive endpoint protection."
"Our customers are satisfied with FortiXDR."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"I definitely think that it's good at finding things automatically, versus trying to define it."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
 

Cons

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"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 solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"The GUI could be improved."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."
"The pricing of FortiXDR should be improved. It's a point of concern for us."
"They could change their licensing costs to make it more affordable for smaller businesses."
"Improvement is needed in the intuitiveness and integration measures of FortiXDR, especially in terms of compatibility."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"Better dashboarding. At the moment, the dashboard only has an hour."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] could be improved with more flexible tuning options and clearer model transparency to better understand why certain behaviors are flagged; enhanced integrations with additional data sources and more intuitive dashboards would also help improve usability and investigation efficiency."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the Community edition."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"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."
"Very costly product."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other vendors, such as Check Point."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."

"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
