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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"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."

"Beyond provided us with an IDS as was our initial need, but AlienVault gave us more useful resources, as SIEM, and as a vulnerability scanner (the last, one of my favourite resources)."

"AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy."

"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."

"Overall, I find that this product is amazing."

"You will wonder how you lived without it."

"It's a single solution that is meeting the needs of multiple of my PCI compliance objectives."

"Ease of deployment across various environments."

"AlienVault USM Anywhere provides us with SIEM, at a low price-point and with a great array of functionality."

More LevelBlue USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"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."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."

"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."

"The vulnerability reporting needs to have options to be able to sort or customize the output."

"Although they use machine learning, the algorithms that they use are graph-based."

"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."

"I think expanding their vendor-specific plugins would beneficial."

"I have found difficulties in searches within security events and configuring some areas looks complicated."

"Search performance can be slow. The Raw Logs feature is painfully slow."

"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."

"It can still be difficult to feed products that are not supported out-of-the-box."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

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

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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 had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."

"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."

"It's very reasonably priced. It was one of the lowest among the ones I looked at. Licensing is pretty flexible. They can do a two-year or a three-year, even a one-year, perhaps."

"The vulnerability management solution is worse than buying a Nessus Professional license."

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."

"Use an MSSP instead. It is much cheaper."

"AlienVault is flexible on their pricing for unlimited licenses."
