Perfect correlation and XDR capabilities for network traffic plus endpoint security

The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR. If you are not integrating it or feeding in your network traffic, then you are just buying a normal antivirus which doesn't make any sense. You are paying double the price to use the antivirus feature or to say you have XDR, but in reality you are not using it. The solution should include an on-premises option because some customers want only on-premises. It would be hard, but good to do if possible. Open XDR would be beneficial in the future. Right now, the solution is Closed XDR so cannot communicate with the few new vendors in the Open XDR market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

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

"It integrates well into the environment."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It's scalable enough for us."

"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."

"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."

"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."

"The pricing is decent."

"The solution does a good job of filtering and blocking unusual traffic."

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

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

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It's not a simple implementation."

"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."

"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."

"Could include some additional protection."

"The prices can go down a little bit."

"The solution is expensive."

"The license prices for this solution are quite high."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The tool's price is moderate."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."

"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."

"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."

"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."

"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."

"The price of the solution could be reduced."

"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."

"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
