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.

Stable but bad technical support, and an out of date database
We primarily use the solution to protect our business The solution protects us so that we have regular security from attacks. It prevents disasters from happening on our system. The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature. The database needs improvement. It needs to be…

Ransomware protection has made data security reliable and efficient
There are not many disadvantages, but they need to do some work on DLP integration. Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses. The main areas for improvement are support responsiveness and the additional enhancement with the DLP integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"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."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"The solution protects us so that we have regular security from attacks."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time."
"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"The solution offers a ransomware vaccine which has been very beneficial to our organization."
"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"It's stable and reliable."
"We are using the latest version of the solution within our organization, and we have been very satisfied with it overall."
"The most valuable feature of Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection is its ability to provide ransomware protection."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."
 

Cons

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."
"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"The price could be a little lower."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"Customer service needs a lot of improvement. They never replied or responded to our queries over the three years we've used it."
"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."

"The product is pricey."
"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."
