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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

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

"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"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 information the dashboard provides is very clear."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"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 provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"The product has good stability."

"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."

"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."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."

"Auto-Remediation"

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"Low performance requirements."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"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."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

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

"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."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

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

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"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."

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

"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 pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"The product is expensive."

"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 doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"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 Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"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."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
