Cloud security has improved as AI-driven runtime protection detects threats and reduces incidents
In my opinion, Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks could be improved or enhanced in various ways. I don't have an idea about that yet because for that you actually need to use two or three different other tools to make a basic comparison. If you ask me how good the tool is, I would fairly rate it quite high. The tool is very popular, and customers can already see that it is one of the cloud leaders in the security space. The platform had a very good feature which provides documentation links about how to use a specific feature on the UI. It takes you to the proper documentation page where it suggests what to do and tells you about the steps that need to be done for a resource deployment. My thoughts about improving the product which I believe could greatly aid vendors is that it used to be a very user-friendly tool, but now they have incorporated everything under one umbrella. It has XDR, XSOAR, and Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. Before, we used to have separate modules and separate environments for each of these capabilities or features. Right now, it is a little complex and users would take their own time to know the tool better. This is something that would have been way better, but I would say there would be different opinions on this. Talking about user-friendliness, it has decreased now.

Comprehensive risk analysis helps identify key performance trends but report access needs improvement
My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow. The moment I select from the entire list of repositories in my vertical, which is almost more than 400 repositories, it takes a lot of time for me to load the report. Sometimes it fails. I do not have Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It's only given to the application security team, and Apiiro as a vendor does not have the rollback access control enabled for the clients, so that would have given me access to the reports tab, which would have made my life easier. Currently, I have to go to the risks tab to pull out all this information. I started exploring dashboards with Copilot. I need to reach out to the Apiiro teams to see if I can get an access token so that I can pull out a Power BI dashboard. I think Apiiro definitely has its own capabilities, but if there are access tokens that teams can use to build a custom dashboard, that would be great. This might already exist, but that is something which will ease the vulnerability management day-to-day activities.

Unified dashboards have streamlined code‑to‑cloud risk tracking and reduced manual reviews
The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps. It seamlessly integrates, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market. When I talk about ROI with Wiz Code, it almost cuts you down to 20% to 25% of the daily effort needed in terms of FTE. If you are working with around 100 developers or engineers, you might come down to 60 to 70 engineers, with the rest completely automated by removing false positives, showcasing where the USP comes in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The AI and automation features in detecting and responding to high-risk threats are impressive; it's one of the best tools regarding AI technology and unifies security in one platform in real-time, improving vulnerability analysis, incident response, and compliance reporting."
"From a technical standpoint or pricing, Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a stronger solution in the market at the moment compared to other products from ConnectWise or Symantec."
"The most beneficial aspect of Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks and Palo Alto in general is that there is a single platform for all cloud providers for securitization."
"Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks has impacted our organization positively by keeping our machines secure and our team using the dashboard to find issues quickly."
"Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks' cloud runtime security in terms of stopping attacks in real time is impressive."
"I have absolutely seen improvements in our incident close rates, with mean time to detect and respond reduced significantly, sometimes by at least forty to fifty percent."
"Overall, Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a technically strong product, and I rate it ten out of ten."
"The capabilities of Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks are valuable because it is the best product in the market."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"The positive impact I have seen from working with Apiiro for my company includes the metrics that we get from Apiiro, which have been extremely helpful."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted my organization through the unified platform that gives the ability to shift left in security and detect issues before they go into production."
"Overall, Wiz Code is a very good tool to use in any organization, whether mid-level or high-level, and it is very useful and user-friendly for employees."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted my organization because it is better on a daily basis; we receive new cases, and it is easy to analyze and take care of them."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted our organization as it helped us to maintain a healthy application security side of the company and to remediate our vulnerabilities."
"Using Wiz Code has been a worthy investment, as manually checking all 100 AWS accounts for issues would take an immense amount of time, but Wiz Code allows us to scan all accounts within minutes and continuously monitors our cloud environment every 24 hours, displaying any changes in the Wiz Code UI under the issues and threats section."
"In my opinion, all the security features Wiz Code offers are the best."
"Approximately 30 to 40% of vulnerabilities are being remediated quicker and easily because Wiz Code has an auto-fixing PR feature available for IAC code, which helps us fix issues quickly."
"Wiz Code offers minimum false positive vulnerabilities, which is the best feature and meets expectations for the tool."
 

Cons

"Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is not the cheapest solution in the market, but I know that is the best solution for SOC and Cloud once have all tools to connect cloud issues with SOC procedures, because we are partners with T-Systems."
"As per my experience with Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, the UI could be simpler."
"The pricing is high, making ROI challenging to justify, especially during transitions between solutions."
"In my opinion, Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks can be improved by addressing forensic information collection and storage, although I cannot suggest specific things right now, based on what customers might need."
"From the commercial perspective, we have some limitations because Palo Alto has a minimum number of users of endpoints set at 200, which is quite high for the Italian market."
"Overall, I rate Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks as an eight out of ten. I think that it could improve on price, as I know that the Google solution has the best price, and this is one of the conditions."
"My thoughts about improving the product which I believe could greatly aid vendors is that it used to be a very user-friendly tool, but now they have incorporated everything under one umbrella."
"Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is creating some confusion in terms of names because this is recent."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"Wiz Code could be better in secret scanning where no push protections are enabled at the GitHub or GitLab level to prevent pushing secrets on GitHub itself."
"There are many improvements that could be made to Wiz Code, but I would point out that sometimes it gives false results, though not every time."
"The dashboards can be better; we have dashboards, but they are really complex and have a lot of information."
"Wiz Code has many features, and I think they could continue to enhance customization according to our requirements."
"I rate the accuracy and reliability as good, but not yet at a level where I trust it without validation."
"Wiz Code could be improved by showing us the dependencies that are affecting us; if we are upgrading one dependency, it would be helpful to know if down the road that's going to cause any problems with other dependencies."
"One noticeable aspect is that we are receiving some false positives, but this is better compared to the previous tool I used."
"I have a big improvement in mind for Wiz Code, not a small improvement."
