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.

Centralized security management has unified risk visibility and enables faster, AI-driven response

Regarding improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I think users can take advantage of customized reports. Additionally, clients sometimes find it difficult to integrate third-party open-source integrations, so this area could be improved. Regarding the needed improvements for TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, the deployment guide and migration guide can be better. If clients are migrating, for example, from on-premises to cloud or from one solution to another, the documentation should be more understandable for non-technical teams, helping them decide where to start. I rate it nine out of 10 due to issues with documentation and support for deployment and migration-related activities. Sometimes I find it difficult for clients to understand the requirements for migration. If the guide or documentation is easier, clients can understand it better and decide where to start. In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments. This issue can lead to quarantining emails without malicious attachments, which is problematic.

AI‑driven threat detection has transformed alert fatigue and now enables faster response and leaner soc operations

The best features of Vectra AI are related to AI. For the NDR part, Attack Signal Intelligence features were mainly responsible for behavior AI, high-fidelity signaling, and prioritization. These features were great for anomaly detection and behavioral-based detection, able to catch zero-day attacks and living-off-the-land attacks. For high-fidelity signaling, it automatically triaged, filtered, and correlated signals, which dramatically reduced alert fatigue noise on the customer side by approximately 80% and eliminated alert fatigue on the SOC teams. Regarding the identity detection and response IDR solution, it monitored Active Directory and Entra ID for any attacks, allowing the SOC to detect any compromised credentials. Alert noise was dramatically reduced by nearly 80%, allowing SOC analysts to focus more on true threats, which made them more productive and resulted in higher operational efficiency. Attack Signal Intelligence helped reduce irrelevant alerts by 80% to 90%, with metrics showing a 100-plus reduction in investigation workloads and roughly saving about 55,000 hours of investigation time. Investigation time has decreased significantly, empowering analysts with detection and advanced unknown threats that Vectra AI provided. Its knowledge base and database are very up to date, allowing for spotting zero-day attacks with full visibility and helping to stop attacks in minutes. Vectra AI has reduced the MTTD and MTTR, increasing operational and process efficiency, and has helped reduce the number of SOC analysts that needed to be hired. Thanks to the AI features, the number of employees and SOC analysts hired has been reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"Since using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, our MTTR has reduced, which means the mean time to resolve any ticket has been reduced."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"The initial setup isn't too bad."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"From the single console, clients can see everything, including each log coming from endpoints, networks, emails, and all attack surface configurations, and they can manage everything from a single dashboard."

"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."

"One of the core features is that Vectra AI triages threats and correlates them with compromised host devices. From a visibility perspective, we can better track the threat across the network. Instead of us potentially finding one device that has been impacted without Vectra AI, it will give us the visibility of everywhere that threat went. Therefore, visibility has increased for us."

"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."

"The solution's ability to reduce alerts, by rolling up numerous alerts to create a single incident or campaign, helps in that it collapses all the events to a particular host, or a particular detection to a set of hosts. So it doesn't generate too many alerts. By and large, whatever alerts it generates are actionable, and actionable within the day."

"The most valuable feature for Cognito Detect, the main solution, is that external IDS's create a lot of alerts. When I say a lot of alerts I really mean a lot of alerts. Vectra, on the other hand, contextualizes everything, reducing the number of alerts and pinpointing only the things of interest. This is a key feature for me. Because of this, a non-trained analyst can use it almost right away."

"We often use the new feature to create PCAP files from the whole data traffic. It makes it much easier to find network problems such as whether the server is responding to a request. It has nothing to do with security, but it helps a lot to find other problems."

"Scalability wise, we have many sensors, and Vectra AI seems to handle them all very well."

"The UI is easy to use and when we send detection to everybody, they easily understand what we are asking at the time."

"Some valuable features of Vectra AI are that it is very intuitive and that there are only a small amount of false positives. Therefore, it's an effective solution."

Cons

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"Limited remote connection."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Trend Vision One - Network Security can be improved by integrating with the native firewall and bringing in that telemetry feed."

"In email security with TrendAI Vision One – Network Security, I found one bug related to inbound emails. If we apply attachment policies, such as requiring analysis for incoming email attachments, the AI sometimes flags email signatures as attachments."

"We had another product with Vectra AI and used the MDR solution as an add-on. Initially, it wasn't fully appropriately configured, so we didn't get the expected results. Even once configured correctly, we weren't fully satisfied with its response. The issue was both with their service response and the product's capabilities."

"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 the customization could be improved. We think the integration with source solutions could be better."

"Cost-wise, they're not cheap. They were definitely the most expensive option, but you get what you pay for."

"We are using SMB 3.0, which is an encrypted protocol. When we get some alerts or something, we cannot go deep into the protocol to see what's wrong because it's encrypted. We need to decrypt the protocol in another way, which is quite difficult. We might go back to SMB 2.0 just for this reason, but that's not a good solution."

"Integration with other security components needs improvement. It should have true integration as opposed to just being a separate pane of glass."

"There is room for improvement in the documentation. We would like to have more details on how it detects what we see."

"I would like to see a bit more strategic metrics instead of technical data. Information that I could show to my executive management team or board would be valuable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"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."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"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."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

Information not available

"Vectra AI's pricing is cheaper than that of Darktrace."

"It is an expensive solution, but it's not the most expensive we've seen. We also know how much we're going to pay, unlike with some other providers where all of a sudden our license explodes."

"We have a desire to increase our use. However, it all comes down to budget. It's a very expensive tool that is very difficult to prove business support for. We would like to have two separate networks. We have our corporate network and PCI network, which is segregated due to payment processing. We don't have it for deployed in the PCI network. It would be good to have it fully deployed there to provide us with additional monitoring and control, but the cost associated with their licensing model makes it prohibitively expensive to deploy."

"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."

"The upfront pricing model that we have would have been more beneficial if it had been a recurring license fee, but that wasn't a massive issue for us. It's fairly priced."

"From a licensing perspective, the Vectra detect platform is pretty doable. Also, the hardware prices are nothing that we're not used to. The stream part is a little overpriced compared to the detect part. The reason is that you need to stream data to detect events anyway, so the data is in there. The only thing that's not available is the UI to be able to look at the stream data, which is also on the appliances but is just not activated. That's mainly the thing that we want to improve on."

"The pricing is high."

"The pricing is very good. It's less expensive than many of the tools out there."
