Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 29, 2026

OpenText Core Endpoint Protection and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint compete in the comprehensive security solutions category. Microsoft Defender appears to have the upper hand due to its seamless integration within Windows environments, advanced threat detection, and response capabilities, making it particularly advantageous for organizations heavily using Microsoft services.

Features: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides seamless integration with Windows environments, robust threat detection, and automatic attack disruption. Its advanced response capabilities and detailed threat analytics are beneficial in maintaining security. On the other hand, OpenText Core Endpoint Protection focuses on delivering solid protection, although its integration and feature set may not be as extensive as Microsoft's offering.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection could improve its handling of threats like CryptoLock and enhance its reporting capabilities, which often lack detail. Meanwhile, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can work on simplifying its user interface, enhancing reporting capabilities, and reducing false positives. Both products should focus on improving threat detection accuracy and minimizing performance impacts.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection provides flexible deployment options across public, hybrid, and on-premises environments, but faces criticism on customer service wait times. Microsoft's Defender for Endpoint, widely deployable across hybrid and cloud environments, offers versatility and significant integration advantages for Microsoft service users. However, its extensive support options can also result in response delays.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText is recognized for its affordability, appealing to companies seeking cost-effective endpoint solutions. Although Microsoft Defender for Endpoint may appear expensive initially, when combined with broader enterprise licenses, it becomes cost-effective by offering extensive features and integration benefits. Both products deliver ROI, with Defender's value becoming more evident when leveraging Microsoft's comprehensive suite.

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.

Automatically isolates threats and integrates with logging to reduce response time

Overall, I would evaluate the Microsoft support level that I receive at probably about a seven, but that depends on the day. It has been spotty. We have had issues where the urgency level of the Microsoft support is not as high as ours, especially during a data breach or potential data breach situation. We have had issues with some of the offshore support being lackluster. One specific thing that comes to mind is we were on a support call with our CISO on the call, and the Microsoft agent, who did not actually work for Microsoft, is one of the vendors that Microsoft uses for support, said, "Just to set expectations, my lunch break is in an hour and I am going to go away then." For us, it was already ten o'clock at night and we had been working on this for a couple of hours, trying to get a security engineer on with us. For him to tell us that he was going to go away and have lunch, it was, "Okay, but go find somebody else if you need to." It was just the lackluster approach, and it seemed like he did not really care. We seem to get a lot of this when we get non-Microsoft support. I can identify areas for improvement with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, as it is kind of a convoluted mess to try to take care of false positives. Especially when they have been identified as false positives but they keep going off over and over again. It is great for my pocketbook because it generates a lot of on-call action, but I would really prefer more sleep at two o'clock in the morning than dealing with false positives. I would say that the unified portal for managing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is suitable for both teams as they are all in there. It would be great if they would stop moving things around and renaming things, which makes sense. The new XDR portal is pretty nice. Being able to have it central again inside of the regular Security Center without having to open up two windows is helpful. Overall, I think it is pretty good. There is always going to be something that could be improved, such as alerting and the ability to modify alerts would be a little bit helpful to have. Being able to add more data into the alerts and turn off alerts that are not as useful would be beneficial. It is hard to say what the quantitative impact the security exposure management feature has had on our company's security, because a lot of it is kind of subjective. I think we are sitting at around a fifty percent score still, and a lot of it is just kind of unusual circumstances that we cannot really implement without breaking the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a comprehensive and scalable solution for protecting on-premises and hybrid infrastructure."

"It is already integrated with Windows 10, so you don't need to worry about that."

"This is the best feature of having OneDrive backup on the fly and recovery on the fly."

"Automatic scanning and cleaning of viruses is the best and most valuable feature helping this tool to thrive. If any viruses are found, they are cleaned automatically."

"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has helped reduce our mean time to remediation significantly."

"It's very easy to scale because it comes built-in with Windows 10, and you just need to enable it. This can be done on scale using group policies or through Endpoint Manager on cloud or Intune."

"What I like most is the protection against phishing emails and anti-spam."

"When it comes to the comprehensiveness of the threat protection from these products, so far I have seen how it's able to pick up the smallest script that is hidden in any type of malicious file."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pros

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

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

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

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

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Everything can be cheaper I am sure. So, it could be less expansive."

"Microsoft Defender in the basic form is not very useful for managing the security environment."

"A single dashboard would be a significant improvement."

"From an improvement standpoint, the only thing I will mention is the cost."

"It is not very scalable from the eyes of an MSP because there is no dashboard that you can use to see all of your devices that have Windows Defender unless you have your own dashboard or an RMM tool to actually look at it. So, you might not get to know that a particular computer of a client is doing something, and it might have got a virus. That person might know that, but unless you set it up to actually send you the information, you won't get to know that. That's one of the things that is hard with Microsoft Defender. It is not made for the MSP world where you have one pane of glass to see all of your clients with Microsoft Defender on it unless your RMM tool already has that built-in and it can see the telemetry from Microsoft Defender."

"At times, the other antivirus products are now doing AI, in terms of understanding the behavior of the system and determining when there's an anomaly. This is something that Defender can improve on."

"It is inexpensive but could be cheaper like anything else."

"I miss having an executive dashboard or a simple view for viewing things. Everything is extensive in this solution. Everything is configurable and manageable, but the environment of Microsoft 365 has about 13 administrative dashboards, and in each of the dashboards, there are a gazillion things to set up. It is good for a large enterprise, but for a 200-seat client, you need to see 5% of that."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint cons

"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."

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

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"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."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

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

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

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

"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 is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The base price for an E5 license, which includes Enterprise Mobility + Security E5, is $57 per user per month."

"Pricing for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is competitive. Out of the bundle, you will get a lot of security, if I talk about Microsoft E5, for example, and get a lot of benefits. If the customer goes and purchases a different solution, it will cost more, so pricing for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite reasonable at the moment. There isn't any challenge in terms of pricing, for example, I didn't see a customer who pulled back because of the price. Some prices could be negotiable, and sometimes, as a sales point, the two become negotiable, but they don't bill one and pull back because of the pricing. If you have an E5 license, you get everything."

"It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable and fair."

"I do not have to purchase antivirus solutions anymore because Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is integrated into Windows and comes free."

"There is no licensing fee."

"The price of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is reasonable. Other solutions are more expensive, such as ClowdStrike."

"Compared to ESET, the pricing for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is on the higher side."

"The product is free of charge and comes integrated into Windows."

More Microsoft Defender for Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"It is relatively cheap."

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

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

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

"The pricing is high."
