Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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 security solution to manage devices with patching and remediation feature
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."
"The product has good stability."
"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."
"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 solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."
"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."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."
"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."
"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"My advice about this product is that it is a very good solution and offers a stable and trusted software that runs smoothly and is easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"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."
"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."
"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."
"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."
"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."
"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."
"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."
"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"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."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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."
"Very costly product."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."
"The product is expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
