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.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution is stable."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"Carbon Black works completely differently from other products; we tested different products and Carbon Black was selected because it does not remove a virus but kills any suspect operations and lets the admin check the scenario, effectively stopping any suspicious activity based on unusual behavior rather than signatures."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"In our POC, we had 200 samples including ones that were available but not as popular and we received a 100% efficacy."
"The Intel fit was very extensive and comprehensive enough."
"It has the best live response feature."
"The portal is easy to use and manage."
"We are an MSP, and we deployed this solution for a banking client; we use it to help us defend against advanced persistent threats."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"The support is poor."
"I'm not happy with the way they are treating existing customers for adding licenses."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"Its pricing was very good, which is one of the reasons I went to it as an alternative. It is on a yearly basis. There are no additional fees."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"The product is expensive. There are some additional costs apart from the standard licensing charges attached to the solution."
