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.

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection

There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

"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."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."

"The endpoint protection and response that allows us to restore a machine back to a pre-infected state are the most valuable features."

"The platform is straightforward to install."

"The technical support services are good."

"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."

"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."

"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."

"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."

More Malwarebytes Teams pros

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."

"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."

"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."

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

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

"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

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

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions."

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."

"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."

"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."

"The product update capability needs to be improved."

"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."

"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."

"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."

"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."

More Malwarebytes Teams cons

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"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."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

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

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

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

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

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

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"I am using the Community edition."

"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."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive."

"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."

"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."

"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."

"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."

"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."

More Malwarebytes Teams pricing and cost advice

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

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

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

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

"The pricing is high."
