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.

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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 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."

"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."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."

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

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."

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

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"There are some false positives."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

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

"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."

"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."

"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."

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

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

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

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

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
