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.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

Behavior analytics has strengthened threat prediction yet still needs to improve overall standing
Regarding the real-time monitoring feature with VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, it is helpful in addressing unseen threats. I find the behavior analysis feature beneficial. I assess VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's machine learning capabilities in detecting unknown threats as fantastic. The behavior and analytics feature employs machine learning, and these are features which make the product and give that distinguishing, differentiating factor. The intelligent threat hunting capabilities have impacted my customers' cybersecurity efforts by giving them the edge to be prepared well in advance. Whenever this feature provides prediction, you know what action to take. You are aware of a possible attack and what kind of attack it may be, so you are much better prepared.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
 

Cons

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Very costly product."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
Information not available
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"The platform is expensive."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"It's reasonable in price"
