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.

Ransomware protection has made data security reliable and efficient

There are not many disadvantages, but they need to do some work on DLP integration. Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses. The main areas for improvement are support responsiveness and the additional enhancement with the DLP integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"The stability of the solution is very good, we have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."

"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."

"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."

"It really protects and does its job; it totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."

"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."

"It gives you a really good balanced portfolio to work with for your machines, not just on the malware protection and the firewall protection, but the virtual container, the ability to manage endpoints, the ability to manage patches."

"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Low performance requirements."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight, it didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree, where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database, so if one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"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."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"This is a very costly product."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."

"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."

"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."

"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."

"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."

"The menu could be cleaned up."

"There could be MDRM features added to the product."

"They need to just modernize the infrastructure with something that is next-generation."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"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."

"I am using the Community edition."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is pricey."

"The tool's pricing is not very expensive and falls within the market price. The solution's licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The product is very reasonably priced."

"I rate Comodo’s pricing a four out of ten."

"It's a cost-effective solution"

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The product can be considered fairly cheap."

"Generally, the cost is between $16 and $19 per endpoint."

"The price of this product should be lower."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The pricing is high."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The solution is very cost-effective."
