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.

Have faced integration challenges but continue to benefit from strong security and proactive response features
The biggest advantage of the product, as I see it as a reseller, is its security and reporting. The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic. When customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR endpoint detection response tool, it runs in an isolated environment, virtual environment, sandbox environment. If it determines that this software is not secure, not verified, or not approved by system admin, it blocks the software immediately. The software will not run, and it sends a report to the admin email instantly. If there is any issue with the software or if any incident such as a malware attack or ransomware attack is happening, or something is trying to make changes to the system files, it immediately blocks the software tool and reports back to the admin. As a reseller partner and secondary admin for the customers, my team and I directly receive a mail, and we take control of that machine. It even blocks complete network access to that machine. On the hardware side, if there is a hard disk full or RAM 90% usage or CPU 90% usage or any of these incidents, we set up an alert notification option for it. The moment these incidents occur, it sends an alert so we can recommend customers upgrade their hardware or check if there is any malfunctioning software consuming too much RAM and CPU. This incident response use case helps us keep customer machines' performance to the maximum. The 24/7 monitoring capability supports a lot in contributing to our cybersecurity strategy. It is very much compatible with our goal.

Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations
The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"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."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"The product is fairly new compared to others like Trend Micro or Symantec. However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers. It can prevent malicious operations from spreading to other applications or the network. This feature is particularly effective because it operates at the IO level, unlike behavior or signature analysis used by other products. It contains threats and alerts administrators about whether they are false positives or real threats that need immediate action or support recommendations."
"One of the most valuable features is its around-the-clock, 365-day-a-year online technical support."
"The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic; when customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR, it runs in an isolated environment, and if it determines the software is not secure, it blocks it immediately and sends a report to the admin."
"However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers."
"The technical support is very helpful."
"It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"The solution is pretty scalable; you buy a lot of features, a known product, and you want it to run in any environment, and it does, so it's scalable enough."
 

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."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"Users pay $60 per user per year, and in case there is an issue, support tickets take nearly three days or sometimes even more for a clear resolution or an answer."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive. This would involve not just monitoring the network but also taking actions to stop and detect threats. We haven't implemented this yet, but we're considering it for our organization's plans."
"They should consider adopting the desktop version as a solution."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I am using the Community edition."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products. If you want to target a certain quantity, it should provide discounts to enterprises."
"The pricing falls within the moderate range."
"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
