Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks Reviews

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. 

We use Cortex XDR as part of our security solution.

its a very good solution and single solution for entire infrastructure, give us good co-relation of incident. Single solution for Network, Endpoint, Servers. 

The most valuable for us is the correlation feature. You are able to correlate data that is coming from the firewall, network, server, and endpoints. This is one of our main requirements and makes for a good product.

It works with the data lake in an agent-based or agentless manner.

It is easy to integrate most with network devices, including firewalls, and Active Directory. We use firewalls from different vendors including Palo Alto and Check Point, and it supports them.

There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved.

We have not experienced any issues with respect to stability at this point.

Scalability has not been a problem.

We have been in contact with technical support and are satisfied with them.

Positive

its a Straightforward

We have an in-house team for deployment and maintenance.

It replace multiple solution and due to this it will reduce the Administrative effort.

I have run a PoC with both CrowdStrike and Cortex XDR, and from my observation, I felt that Cortex was much better at meeting our requirements. It is also easier to use.

CrowdStrike was difficult when it came to integrating with other products and it does not work on mobile devices.

My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features. From my experience, it is one of the better ones in the market. That said, no product is 100%.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I have deployed some customized playbooks and modified ones which are out-of-the-box with more integration with SIEM solutions such as ArcSight, QRadar, ADRs and Trend Micro.

The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized. The case number of items should be addressed. 

I have found the interface of Azure to be more simple and customizable than that of the solution. 

I have worked on Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks with my customers for a number of weeks. 

The stability is good. 

The scalability is fine. 

We have plans to increase the usage. 

The initial setup was simple. 

The deployment took no more than two hours. 

So far, I have made use of the free license which is offered. Once it ended, I was able to buy a license based on the number of users or divisions. The license varies with the number of users or applications involved. 

If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them. 

The interface of Azure is more simple and customizable than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks.

I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable. The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks. 

The solution is deployed solely on-premises on a single server. 

As of now, there are six users making use of the solution. 

My advice is that the on-premises environments for the product's use should be increased. 

I rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks as an eight out of ten.
