Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Platform Engineer Ii at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Network visibility has improved and detects zero-day threats and lateral movement swiftly
Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed.I would like to see more telemetry coming in from the risk-based factor so that there should be risk-based tagging across all assets within the organization, specifically focusing on threats related to lateral movement and ransomware. This risk-based scoring is required.

Threat detection has improved and malicious emails are now identified quickly
Vectra AI offers artificial intelligence capabilities with visibility that can be integrated into our day-to-day operations and other tools, including malware detection tools and cyber threat tools. Vectra AI has positively impacted my organization. Last year while using it, we received many malicious email threats and virus incidents, including a trojan virus that had reportedly been deployed by someone. Our company used Vectra AI to detect the malicious threats and viruses before they could cause more damage, and we successfully stopped the threats. Using Vectra AI, I notice that server downtime has decreased significantly. We now experience only two to three hours of downtime, whereas without Vectra AI and other tools, our downtime would exceed 48 to 72 hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Trend Vision One - Network Security has positively impacted my organization as our network operations team has found it very useful for monitoring all threats coming in via the network layer and taking swift actions compared to earlier."
"Using this tool for automation has provided more benefits to our processes."
"It has to be up there with my favorite security tool set at the moment."
"It gives you access, with Recall, to instant visibility into your network through something like a SIEM solution. For us, being able to correlate all of this network data without having to manage it, has provided immediate value. It gives us the ability to really work on the stuff where I and my team have expertise, instead of having to manage a SIEM solution..."
"The packet-capturing feature is very useful."
"We have been extremely happy with the solution; it's been one of the best solutions we have in our enterprise and I would put it at the top of the list."
"The solution is currently used as a central threat detection and response system."
"We do see a return on investment because it's a good tool that we're using well and it's helping us to keep the company secure."
"Vectra AI has positively impacted my organization; last year while using it, we received many malicious email threats and virus incidents, including a trojan virus that had reportedly been deployed by someone, and our company used Vectra AI to detect the malicious threats and viruses before they could cause more damage, and we successfully stopped the threats."
 

Cons

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"This is a very costly product."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."
"I would like more integrations with IOCs and threats currently on the Internet. I would also like to know which threats are based on zero-day attacks, current botnets, etc. Therefore, I would like more information on external threats."
"Some of their integrations with other sources of data, like external threat feeds, took a bit more work than I had hoped to get integrated."
"Neither Vectra nor Darktrace have a function like a status health check on my log sources and traffic sources."
"One area where there's room for improvement is the absence of a comprehensive TCP recording and replay feature."
"You are always limited with visibility on the host due to the fact that it is a network based tool."
"The rules for threats are not always precise and Vectra AI should improve this."
"One thing which I have found where there could be improvement is with regard to the architecture, a little bit: how the brains and sensors function."
"One thing which I have found where there could be improvement is with regard to the architecture, a little bit: how the brains and sensors function. It needs more flexibility with regard to the brain. If there were some flexibility in that regard, that would be helpful, because changing the mode of the brain is complex. In some cases, the change is permanent. You cannot revert it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"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."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"Vectra is a bit on the higher side in terms of price, but they have always been transparent. The reason that they are this good is that they invest, so they need to charge accordingly."
"Vectra's pricing is too high. All schools will not be able to afford it. Vectra will only end up targeting higher education and higher value independence purely because of the price. A lot of schools would love to have a product like Vectra AI, but they simply can't because they struggle to even pay the high E5 licensing from Microsoft. When you're up against that, Vectra AI is never going to be within the sector's price range."
"We are running at about 90,000 pounds per year. The solution is a licensed cost. The hardware that they gave us was pretty much next to nothing. It is the license that we're paying for."
"Cost is a big factor, as always. However, I think we have a very good price–performance ratio."
"My company pays for the Vectra AI licensing fee yearly. I know the figure because my company recently renewed the license, and it's okay, at least for the financial sector."
"Vectra's licensing model could scale to our research network, which has multiple, 100-gigabit links."
"At the time of purchase, we found the pricing acceptable. We had an urgency to get something in place because we had a minor breach that occurred at the tail end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017. This indicated we had a lack of ability to detect things on the network. Hence, why we moved quickly to get into the tool in place. We found things like Bitcoin mining and botnets which we closed quickly. In that regard, it was worth the money."
"Its cost is too much. It's an investment that we can afford. It's a lot, but it's worth it."
