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.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"Using Open API, we were able to freely perform the necessary integration with our other security solutions."
"While there is an IR team that is responsible for managing EDR or deep analytics, our focus is on endpoint and antivirus protection, where we encounter signature updates, look for false positives in their relation to file interpretation, and can instantly respond by putting a policy in place to immediately stop the false positives instead of sending a sample and waiting for coverage."
"The solution allows you to override it and manually install an application if you need it to, and it's very good at alerting you to malicious content or unauthorized software."
"The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly."
"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."
"In our POC, we had 200 samples including ones that were available but not as popular and we received a 100% efficacy."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
 

Cons

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers."
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
"This solution works well but needs lots of tuning and optimization."
"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."
"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
