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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

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

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."

"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."

Cons

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"The GUI could be improved."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

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

"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."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."

"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."

"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

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

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks 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."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"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."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
