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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Behavior analytics has strengthened threat prediction yet still needs to improve overall standing
Regarding the real-time monitoring feature with VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, it is helpful in addressing unseen threats. I find the behavior analysis feature beneficial. I assess VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's machine learning capabilities in detecting unknown threats as fantastic. The behavior and analytics feature employs machine learning, and these are features which make the product and give that distinguishing, differentiating factor. The intelligent threat hunting capabilities have impacted my customers' cybersecurity efforts by giving them the edge to be prepared well in advance. Whenever this feature provides prediction, you know what action to take. You are aware of a possible attack and what kind of attack it may be, so you are much better prepared.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"What I find most interesting is the performance of the end-point client, as well as the capability of detecting any activity on the end-user while using their browsers to navigate the internet."
"The product is very smooth and pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"Technical support is excellent."
 

Cons

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​"
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Very costly product."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price was fine."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
Information not available
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"Overall, it was cost-effective too."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"The platform is expensive."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"The pricing is very high."
