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 most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"The initial setup isn't too bad."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Containment is the best feature of the solution."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

"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."

"If you get attacked, your files will be safe, and you can work on your infected files."

"It's stable and reliable."

"Overall, I would rate Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection a nine out of ten."

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

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

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"Overall, the solution is stable."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"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."

"It is very light, it is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus, and it is a pretty complete solution."

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

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."

"The GUI could be improved."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"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."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection could improve by extending its auto containment feature to Mac and Linux systems since it currently only supports Windows."

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

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

"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."

"They need to just modernize the infrastructure with something that is next-generation. We have recently moved to SentinelOne. It had been doing good for us for a while, but we needed something modern with new technology."

"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."

"Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses."

"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

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

"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

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

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

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

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

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

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

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

"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."
