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.

Senior Cyber Security Analyst (SAFe Agile) at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Advanced threat detection undermined by issues with blocking

NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious. For example, if you put IOCs in the form of hashes, it's not possible to block those IOCs - the system will alert you, but they can't be blocked. In the next release, NetWitness Endpoint should include regular expressions for blocking processes and sub-processes, the ability to block IPs, and scalability and integration with the ServiceNow platform or other ticketing solutions.

Centralized security management has unified risk visibility and enables faster, AI-driven response

Regarding improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I think users can take advantage of customized reports. Additionally, clients sometimes find it difficult to integrate third-party open-source integrations, so this area could be improved. Regarding the needed improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, the deployment guide and migration guide can be better. If clients are migrating, for example, from on-premises to cloud or from one solution to another, the documentation should be more understandable for non-technical teams, helping them decide where to start. I rate it nine out of 10 due to issues with documentation and support for deployment and migration-related activities. Sometimes I find it difficult for clients to understand the requirements for migration. If the guide or documentation is easier, clients can understand it better and decide where to start. In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments. This issue can lead to quarantining emails without malicious attachments, which is problematic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

"In my opinion, this is the best platform, world-wide, and I am happy with it."

"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."

"We use it for IT security purposes; this is our central log management solution, so we incorporate all of our servers and PCs into this software and can monitor the logs from there."

"We like the solution doesn't have to be managed by an IT department; it's easy to use and you can still check the machine without the IT department being involved."

"NetWitness Endpoint has enabled us to detect attacks that bypass the first stage of cybersecurity, like zero-day and advanced attacks."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"Trend Vision One - Network Security has positively impacted my organization as our network operations team has found it very useful for monitoring all threats coming in via the network layer and taking swift actions compared to earlier."

"From the single console, clients can see everything, including each log coming from endpoints, networks, emails, and all attack surface configurations, and they can manage everything from a single dashboard."

Cons

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"The onboarding process could be better."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"RSA NetWitness Endpoint is a scalable solution. However, the problem which we normally face is in terms of the migration of the solution."

"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."

"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

"One of the drawbacks of using this product is that when you deploy, you have to create MSI files."

"The solution doesn't have a reporting engine which would be helpful."

"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."

"In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"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."

"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."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

"It is an expensive product."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
