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

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

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

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

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

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"It is easy to use."

"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."

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."

"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."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"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."

"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."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager pros

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

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

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

"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."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"There are some false positives."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"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."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

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

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager cons

"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."

"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."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

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

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

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pretty expensive."

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

"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 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."

"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 solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"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."

"The pricing is high."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"Work on a price tier plan."
