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.

Has faced limitations in AI capabilities and pricing flexibility
Pricing-wise, Wazuh stands out, along with deployment flexibility and its documentation which is extremely good in comparison to Forti. The community support is also incredible. They have helped quite a bit because previously, we had a separate tool and management dashboard to do our compliance. With Wazuh, we receive that information without having to do anything extra. We just set up the SIEM and all of that information was automatically populated. The dashboards are very easy to understand and very quick with no lag or delay. I have experienced delays on Forti's dashboards, but not with Wazuh. Wazuh is quite good. In comparison to Forti, they are quite similar. They are very good at detection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"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 typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"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."
"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."
"If they support a solution, it is easy to do an integration."
"It has efficient SCA capabilities."
"I would recommend Wazuh to others."
"Wazuh automatically scans the host for CIS benchmarks for the latest updates and vulnerabilities and gives a host score. It provides a percentage of perceived risk due to of non patches or any missing patches on that work."
"It's stable."
"It offers built-in modules for file integrity and vulnerability management."
"Wazuh's most valuable features include file monitoring and compliance reporting, which do not require excessive costs."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
 

Cons

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The product's configuration part and lack of AI capabilities are some of the major concerns associated with Wazuh."
"The deployment is a bit complex."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"It would be great if there could be customization for the decoder portion."
"They could include flexibility and customization capabilities by modifying for customers based on partner agreements."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is distributed architecture and it uses Elastic DB. Their Elastic DB doesn't allow open source waste application."
"Alerts should be specific rather than repeatedly triggered by integrating multiple factors. This issue needs improvement to create a more efficient alert system."
"Wazuh requires substantial maintenance. The indexer frequently times out, requiring system restarts. When it comes to errors, debugging takes considerable time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"Wazuh is an open-source tool, which means it is freely available for use."
"Wazuh has a community edition, and I was using that. It's free and open source."
"It is a free-of-cost solution."
"They have a good pricing strategy for market expansion."
"It is an open-source product."
"The current pricing is open source."
"My client uses the open-source version of Wazuh."
"Wazuh is a cheaply priced product."
