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

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"From a business perspective, we've been able to virtually eliminate cyber attacks from spyware, malware, and virus perspectives."
"It is a very complete platform."
"It has improved our protection to have less false-positives, we have a greater ability to find malware notifications, and it has improved between 30-35% more than prior to our use of the solution."
"I found it very valuable as a whole; it is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe, and it is also very easy to use."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The security, specifically the endpoint security that the solution provides, is its most valuable aspect."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"This is a very costly product."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"Report generation can be improved."
"The node management could be much better."
"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. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"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."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault."
"The licensing price is a bit expensive when compared with other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"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."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
Information not available
"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."
"The platform is expensive."
"The pricing is very high."
"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
