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

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"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."

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

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Their technical support is actually quite good."

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

"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 solution is very easy to set up."

"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."

"The technical support is excellent, the technical team knows what they are doing and any request or question we have gets fixed within a matter of minutes."

"It is easy to manage."

"Reduced the number of malware/virus issue encounters and dashboard alerts providing better visibility."

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

"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."

"I have seen some positive impact from using WatchGuard EPDR because it's less painful than the previous product we were using, has more functionality, and is easier to manage."

"I think there's quite a good balance in everything with WatchGuard EPDR, with tools to do things and watch what's happening, and everything is in the same tools and quite well designed or thought about how to do things, which is the reason I've been enjoying them."

More WatchGuard EPDR pros

Cons

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

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"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."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

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."

"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."

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

"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."

"The product is available at a very high price, making it an area where improvements are required."

"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."

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

"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."

"The implementation was difficult."

More WatchGuard EPDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It has a yearly renewal."

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

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

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

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

"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."

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

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

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

"The price is excellent."

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

"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."
