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 solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection

There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"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 product has an intuitive dashboard."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

"The product has good stability."

"Ivanti is really good. They have a very good vulnerability database in which even if it is used for other products like BMC or Microsoft, the vulnerabilities and patching database is well filtered and very well documented."

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"I commonly recommend Malwarebytes to people due to the fact that I find it quite reliable."

"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."

"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."

"The technical support services are good."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."

"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."

"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."

"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."

More Malwarebytes Teams pros

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"The onboarding process could be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."

"There's no indication on the system as to when the software is doing a scan."

"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."

"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."

"Its price can also be improved. It is really expensive."

"In my opinion, it's not very scalable, at least the way we use it at this point in time."

"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."

"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

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

"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."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"I am using the Community edition."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"It is expensive."

"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."

"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."

"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."

"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."

"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
