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

"It is a simple platform to use."

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

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."

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

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

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"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 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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager [EOL] pros

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that they have the lightest agent, as it is only six MBs, installs in a matter of seconds, is very lightweight, and has a very minimal, negligible performance impact on the machine and endpoints."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

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

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"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."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"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."

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

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

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager [EOL] cons

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"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."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

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

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"I feel it is fairly priced."

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