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.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"This product really is the best solution for this security issue."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
 

Cons

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
Information not available
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"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."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
