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.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Constant monitoring and analysis boosts network security
There is always room for improvement. I am not giving it a perfect score because I am sure there is something that could be enhanced.Having some sort of certification or training, along with more periodic webinars might be helpful. Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares. As the community grows for Lumu then that will improve, but that is not really a criticism of Lumu, they simply have not been around that long.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everything is organized straightforwardly; all the incidents are clearly described and everything you need is essentially in one menu and one UI interface, which is quite beneficial for me and also for the customer."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"One major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"Lumu has allowed us to operate cybersecurity in a better way, with a manageable number of incidents that contain all the context including the Mitre matrix and much more, while providing visibility across on-premise, cloud, remote environments, and IoT such as IP cameras, with automatic mitigation that lets our team focus only on incidents that require our full attention."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"The automated response to incidents works effectively out of the box, and the number of interfaces and platforms it can work with is impressive."
"With this solution, you don’t need to invest in expensive cybersecurity software because you can operate within the product easily."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"I think Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could be improved by having tiered pricing by device, especially since we have not covered mobile devices because the cost is very high."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"I would rate it an 8 rather than a 10 mainly because there is still room to improve the user experience around complex investigations, including alert tuning and third-party integration."
"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 downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"The only problem is that the agents consume too much memory and system resources; the memory and resource consumption is high."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] could be improved with more flexible tuning options and clearer model transparency to better understand why certain behaviors are flagged; enhanced integrations with additional data sources and more intuitive dashboards would also help improve usability and investigation efficiency."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"Having a larger support network would be beneficial. Nobody I know has heard of Lumu, so they are in the same space as Darktrace or CrowdStrike, but people give blank stares."
"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"The reports need improvement."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Very costly product."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
