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.

Comprehensive endpoint visibility and multilayer security have strengthened compliance and protected removable media in critical environments
I work with the data sanitization feature, including USB. When it comes to data integrity, it is not meant for data integrity; it will modify your data. It will not look into your content, but it will look into embedded objects, such as hyperlinks, scripts, and any other embedded object, macro, and images. It will remove that potential malicious content, sanitize the hyperlink, remove the macro, sanitize the embedded objects, and remove the scripts if they are attached in your document to prevent you from zero-day attacks. MetaDefender Endpoint has an excellent malware detection feature; it has around thirty plus different anti-malware engines, so the detection ratio can go up to ninety-nine point nine percent. The vulnerability assessment feature definitely helps to address system vulnerabilities. You will have visibility of the vulnerability, and it is a continuous assessment. You will get complete visibility of your environment and of your endpoint.

Front-to-back FX compression has streamlined bulk operations and has delivered major risk savings
I find this interview should ideally be very short and crisp, needing to be around five to ten minutes, but it is taking a long time. Therefore, I suggest having five to six questions instead. I would rate Razor Platform an eight on a scale of one to ten. I chose an eight because it is not fully automated; it requires human interaction to provide the feed before it can act. If it were fully automated and able to pick up transactions and follow with aggregation, then I believe it would deserve a higher rating, but for now, an eight is appropriate. I would definitely advise others looking into using Razor Platform to give it a try and see how it works, as it is definitely a good investment. My overall review rating for Razor Platform is eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"Altogether, it is going to be complete endpoint protection and visibility."
"Razor Platform has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to save around 4.3 million dollars in total gross due to lower risk-weighted asset charges, which reflects well on my product and project initiatives meeting objectives, resulting in a very positive outcome."
"The best features Razor Platform offers is simple integrations."
 

Cons

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"The negative aspect is that it only provides visibility; you require integration with multiple products to get complete control."
"I chose an eight because it is not fully automated; it requires human interaction to provide the feed before it can act."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."
"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."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"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."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
