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.

Brand threats have been monitored proactively and intelligence now drives daily security decisions
I am an end user of Mandiant Advantage. Mandiant Advantage's intelligence is good, and their service is good, but the price they charge is just too high. It's not that they're not supplying what they're selling; it's simply that the price is high, and putting a tag on that cost is somewhat problematic. I would rate Mandiant Advantage an 8 out of 10. I do not consider Mandiant Advantage an affordable solution at all. The prices are very high and very expensive. The price of Mandiant Advantage is not justified. It's really expensive, and it's so expensive that I'm not sure I will continue next year with their service.

Centralized threat intelligence has streamlined IOC workflows and now improves response time
ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing response times and improving detection accuracy by ensuring only high-confidence, context-rich indicators are pushed to security controls. From an operational standpoint, ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) has helped us reduce IOC handling and response time from hours to minutes by automating injection, enrichment, and distribution workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The scalability of Mandiant Advantage deserves a ten out of ten."
"Mandiant Advantage is excellent at providing the full context and all the information, where the information was found, and the full data, including the raw data that was uploaded onto the Internet."
"Mandiant Advantage has helped me enhance operational efficiency overall because it enriched our SIEM, which is Splunk, and the YARA rules I wrote within the platform help me understand better what my threat landscape is."
"It is so valuable to have someone performing these functions outside of our business hours when we don't have staff in the building. We've seen a lot of solid metrics on the amount of malware that it's detecting and resolving. We're pleased with it so far."
"I have never faced stability issues."
"The advantage of the solution is being able to go look up threat actors and get a lot of detailed information about different attacks and different tactics and general information about threats."
"The feature I have found most valuable is directory monitoring. We experienced an instance of threat actors trying to ensure a complex and massive attack against our customer's infrastructure on the forum. That is, they were animating people on a formum. The solution alerted us to this two days ahead of the attack, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for it."
"The live IOC feed identifies the type, technique, and tactics used."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"I like their customer support."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface; I loved it, and it's really great and easy to configure."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"Product might have some bugs."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Collaboration of data in my view becomes a bit clogged, requiring effort to understand visually."
"Sometimes Mandiant Advantage becomes noisy when dealing with widely recognized companies due to false positives."
"I think that the data query that is used for data cloud language should be improved. It's really hard to query actual data from the platform."
"I have already given them feedback that their UI needs improvement since sometimes there is a lag. The side-by-side depiction of request response and action clogs the screen."
"Sometimes Mandiant Advantage becomes noisy when dealing with widely recognized companies due to false positives."
"They could have better support. Now that they've merged, they are moving towards a portal system, which isn't very helpful."
"Mandiant's on-prem client is too processor-intensive, so it's putting a strain on the local device's CPU. When a scan is running on the device, the other processing tasks slow to a crawl. We're still trying to figure out the correct settings for the client."
"Mandiant Advantage's platform itself is not good yet. They have many bugs because they changed the platform, so from time to time it's simply not working at all."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Very costly product."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"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."
Information not available
"The tool is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
