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 protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"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."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"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."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The convenience has been great."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The intelligent threat hunting capabilities have impacted my customers' cybersecurity efforts by giving them the edge to be prepared well in advance."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"The solution is stable and the policy can be configured with flexibility, as it comes with its own pre-built standard policy and also allows us to write our own, which means the solution serves us going forward."
"There's lots of very useful documentation online to help troubleshoot and learn about the product."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"It has the best live response feature."
"During the company’s transition, we had a memory scraper infiltrate our network, and with the help of Carbon Black, we isolated the outbreak to a few point of sale machines."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The GUI could be improved."
"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"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."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"The pricing could always be a bit better. They could work to make it less expensive."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"The Mac support needs improvement, as it had next to none."
"Sometimes the solution blocks items that were previously approved and we don't know why."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The pricing is reasonable."
