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.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"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."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."

"Has great threat detection capabilities."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use, and I like the pre-execution method of protection that prevents infection."

"The stability is perfect, and it is leaps and bounds beyond our previous solution by McAfee."

"This technology is very good, very stable, and we have great trust in it and what it delivers."

"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."

"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."

"From an administrative overhead point of view, there is a 75% reduction in administrating the solution."

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."

"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, which my company mainly uses, is patching. Another valuable feature of Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is that it allows you to view the inventory list of the different machines."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

"Ivanti is really good. They have a very good vulnerability database in which even if it is used for other products like BMC or Microsoft, the vulnerabilities and patching database is well filtered and very well documented."

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

Cons

"The price could be a little lower."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable."

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."

"The initial deployment was quite complicated."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"It just doesn't make you feel like you're getting covered or have the best protection, which you should have."

"The solution’s technical support could be improved."

"I would like to see a little bit of additional reporting or insight as to what it is doing exactly."

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"The solution needs a complete overhaul or makeover. It gets stuck sometimes because they're focusing on the cloud UEM stuff rather than paying as much attention to that particular piece. The ease of use could be improved. It combines many different functionalities that you would need multiple servers like SCCM. If I wanted to train people, I’d move to a higher level from an Apache architect. There are five or six different products. So, training functional staff to use the product can be challenging because it can sometimes be cumbersome. Reporting is challenging. We use Avanti extraction to report off an endpoint. We don't use the reporting because of the need for more functionality, granularity, or customization."

"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"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 cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The tool is not that expensive."

"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."

"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."

"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"The product is expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
