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.

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation

I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

"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."

"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."

"I can put tons of load on it."

"Since implementing this solution, we have not had any trouble with malware."

"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."

"We have had a good experience with customer service and support."

"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."

"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."

"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."

"They could have more reports."

"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."

"It is hard to install and deploy on a Linux operating system."

"Although the antivirus solution is so good that we've never suffered from an attack, we've had a few problems with false positives where they weren't correct."

"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."

"The implementation was difficult."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"I am using the Community edition."

"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 pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

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."

"The product is available at a high price."

"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
