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.

Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"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."
"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"We normally focus on Huntress."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"This is a very good solution for discovering malware and checking the behavior at user endpoints."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
 

Cons

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"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 limitations on the Traps agents."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"I have had a bit of trouble in the commercial support as a reseller in a country where we started to sell Cynet."
"Cynet gives a few false positives."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Functions-wise, at present the times for events are not a user's local time, but we assume that will be corrected soon."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
Information not available
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
