Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks Reviews

We are still in the testing stages so there is not currently any primary use case beyond the base use of endpoint protection.  

Cortex has several good features that I am interested in. There is a nice Sandbox function that is very strong, there is the Traps (endpoint protection) solution, the real-time filtering of suspect linkages is good, and the automatic blocking of suspect behavior is always active and protecting the network.  

As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds. On China's side, we need to set up a local server for the definition updates, and the performance has not been very good for the company when directly connected to the internet. We are a little disappointed with that.  

We have been using Cortex XDR (Extended Detection and Response) for around two months.  

It is stable. From the moment we installed it has been up with no restarts of maintenance until now.  

I think that this product is scalable. The testing environment we use right now has around 200 users. In the future, when we deploy it to the company we will move up to around 4,000 users.  

The technical support is okay. They have already helped us to fix the installation and then we had an issue and they were available for correction of the problem. They also have made some useful suggestions. So the support team is okay in my estimation.  

We have been exploring a similar solution. Right now I am also doing testing on Sentinel at the center. This is a similar solution. But we have only just begun testing Sentinel, so we do not really have enough experience with it to comment on the product.  

As we just started with Cortex and we are using a cloud solution, I do not have the impression that it was difficult to install and begin using.  

The setup costs are a bit higher than some other solutions. Overall it is a little bit expensive, I think. If we could get it for around a 10% discount then that would be a better price point for us.  

For our pricing plan, we are not on a subscription, so we do not have to pay every month. We have a yearly license for the product.  

The approximate amount we pay per license is around $80 per user per year.  

My suggestion for people considering this product is that Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints. Because I needed Cortex to work for external and internal users and devices, it helps that it is cloud-based because it is good for working in the office or other locations. So we wanted to have the total end-to-end protection including on the mobile devices, that is what we got. This product will be a good suggestion for people who need the same capability.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Cortex XDR as around nine-out-of-ten. The cost is the reason it would not be higher. Nine is good but this is a very good product except for the cost.  

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an antivirus tool that provides EDR and XDR.

The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface. I've used other solutions like Cylance and CrowdStrike, but Cortex XDR stands out from all the products. It has also moved to XSIAM. Cortex XDR introduced it long ago, while other tools are implementing it now.

The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there.

I have been using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for five years.

The solution would have bugs, but we get support 24/7 to deal with them.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a scalable solution.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a cloud-based solution. I would recommend the solution to other users if they can afford it. Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is worth the money. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use the solution for the first time.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use the product as a detection and response application.

The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection. It is very useful in detecting threats to databases. The last meter statistics prove the efficient capabilities of the solution.

It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive.

We have been using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for three years.

The product is 100% stable. I have never received any complaints from the customers.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easily scalable as it is a cloud-based product.

We provide support services for our customers. Palo Alto's support services are expensive, and customers also encounter language barriers.

The initial process is simple. It requires training of about three to four days to understand the installation process. It is deployed on the cloud. The number of software engineers required depends on the number of the endpoints.

We pay in advance for the product's license. It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company. We can split this payment monthly, quarterly, or yearly, according to the customer's requirements. For a cost-benefit analysis when choosing a security solution, consider factors such as the number of attacks prevented, the impact of those attacks, potential losses, and other hidden costs.

I rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for ten out of ten. It could be improved from a commercial perspective. It could approach the SMB market as well.

We use the solution for telemetry and for its anti-virus capability.

The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better.

The product's pricing could be better.

I have been using the tool for several years.

The solution is stable. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten. 

The product is scalable. 

The technical support team is good.

The initial setup was easy.

The tool is worth its money. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Our clients want to correlate information they have in their network. Many engineers or companies have different tools like CMs, firewalls, VPNs, and some other things related to networks. They mentioned that after they acquired the Cortex XDR solution they have all of the information in one place. That is important because they improved the time to solve security issues.

One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. 

Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network.

I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs.

I have worked with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network for about four years.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network is a stable solution. I have been working with it for years, and it only went down once.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a nine.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network is a scalable solution.

Technical support is okay.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and not very complicated. I think it takes about two hours to deploy this solution. The number of personnel needed depends on the company. For example, banks usually have five cybersecurity engineers installing and maintaining this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the initial setup a seven.

I don't like that they have different types of licenses.

On a scale from one to nine, I would give licensing costs a seven.

I consider Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network a good solution. They have good support, and they listen to customer feedback. 

On a scale from one to nine, I would give Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network a nine.

I'm testing the product right now. I use the solution for endpoint security.

Everything is fine. 

It'll not slow down your system when compared to others.

The initial setup is easy.

I'd like the solution to provide URL filtering and web-based prevention. We'd like to block web pages at a high level.

We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning.

I've been using the solution for a year.

The product is very stable and the performance is good. It doesn't slow down the systems it runs on. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution can scale well.

More than 100 people are using the solution right now. 

We've never needed the assistance of technical support just yet.

I've also used McAfee MVISION Endpoint. 

I'm testing them both and finding the advantages and disadvantages between them.

The solution is very easy to set up.

You do have to pay for a license in order to use a solution. It's expensive.

We're a reseller.

We are using the latest, most up-to-date version, of the product.

I would recommend using it with another protection layer. Cortex should provide an additional layer of security apart from this. You might have to integrate with other vendors also.

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

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. If we had more advanced security features, I'd rate it higher.

We have deployed Cortex XDR for a couple of clients in manufacturing.

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

The dashboard could be more user-friendly.

I've been using Cortex XDR for two years.

Cortex XDR is stable enough.

Cortex's scalability is good. We have about 200 users on it at the moment. 

Palo Alto support is great. 

Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied. We need two people to deploy and maintain the solution. 

Our clients pay for the license every year. It's just a standard fee with no additional costs. 

I rate Cortex XDR eight out of 10. 

My customer wanted to use EDR. We worked with the POC to demonstrate the antivirus and how it has more features for detecting threats.

It makes it easier and faster to investigate problems and incidents.

The most valuable features are that it can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks.

It investigates problems and incidents quickly. Cortex is good at reducing alerts and for having a custom barrier. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response.

Cortex detects and shows what the problem is and how to resolve the problem or incident. Cortex is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution.

It has tools for threat hunting and it has very good incident response features.

It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved.

I've been using it for a year.

Setting it up is very simple.

It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool.

I'm rating this solution a ten out of ten because it is very good for managed threat hunting and incident response. It is the best XDR solution. It's better than other tools because it uses enterprise architecture. Everybody will find that this solution is easy to use.
