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.

A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The resetting option and creating a password is a very useful on-the-go feature, which gives a user a good experience, obviously a hassle-free experience."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"Their technical support is actually quite good."
"The traditional anti-malware engine is valuable."
"Scalability is a huge factor; the need for no downtime is key for us, and this solution offers that, as we can patch and reboot firewalls while keeping connections running 100% of the time and no one even notices."
"Since we started using it, we've seen fewer security incidents, faster response times, and better protection against ransomware."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has significantly strengthened the defense against malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats, and the unified agent ensures consistent protection across all endpoints."
"It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers include fantastic forensic visibility along with a broad feature set that covers anti-malware, UBA, anti-phishing, and host-based firewalls, all centralized and easy to use through a cloud tenant."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"Check Point offers a comprehensive solution that will not only create a firewall but will also protect the traffic of data from an application usage standpoint."
 

Cons

"The GUI could be improved."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The response from the tool's support team, which starts with L1, is something my company doesn't find helpful, especially when compared to the other solutions that we use."
"I would like to see support for a policy in the appliance that will refuse to create a connection if it does not detect an active virus scanner."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"I see a need for improvement especially in policy management and policy customization with Check Point Harmony Endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve mobile device management (MDM)."
"I would like to see a better UI for admin functions."
"I hope the agent size of Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be reduced for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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 pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"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 price of the product is not very economical."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"We pay on an annual basis. There are no additional fees, they mostly tell us what we have to pay. We have budgeted for it."
"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint's pricing is more competitive than any other vendor."
"Licensing comes free in that first year or is included in the base package. From a commercial point of view, it really just is the renewal cost, rather than a one-time fixed cost or buy-in."
"The tool’s cost has increased by almost 300% in two years."
"Check Point Antivirus is a good solution, but it's a little costly."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"We pay roughly 80,000 Swedish krona per year. When it comes to the firewall, it's roughly 150,000 Swedish krona yearly. There's also maintenance, of course, which is roughly 10,000 krona per month."
