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.

Offers useful threat hunting and response capabilities but struggles to justify cost for smaller deployments

I mostly work with incident response, so I work with a bunch of them interchangeably, but mostly with the EDR components; I also get involved with some of the XDR components, especially for the cloud. Regarding analysis features, such as deep behavioral detection, I do use it sometimes; I usually don't use the automated version of it, as I prefer threat hunting directly, depending on if the season is available. I know some of them have pretty good analytics engines, but I tend to do the threat hunting on my own. I manage incident response for a bunch of companies, so some of them have Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response integrated into Sentinel, some into Fortinet, and others into various tools. When considering cost-effectiveness, their pricing structure works such that if you're a large organization with more than a thousand endpoints to deploy to, then Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is worthwhile. But for anything less than 300, it's too expensive; obviously, the more you buy, the better the price, making it cheaper for you. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response best fits enterprise-level businesses such as huge corporations; however, we are in the process of removing it from many of our endpoint clients because it's not really showing enough value for them at the moment. We're trying to see how we can improve it with some of our clients, but at the moment, it's struggling compared to other EDR solutions that we have deployed. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response a six.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"If a file was infected on somebody's laptop or workstation, then it is now easier for us to understand what the impact is on the environment, as the Cybereason product enables me to go directly into the software, look up the process, see who were the dealers, what were the websites, what were the IP addresses which were contacted, and detect if there were other systems which were impacted or if my environment was compromised."

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"The dashboard is very good and you can consider it as an interactive UI."

"We like that it is a hybrid; it’s flexible, you can really do whatever you need to do, the initial setup is not overly complicated, the solution can scale, and it is stable and reliable."

"Please go for it as this is an efficient product in the cyber security space."

"Cybereason has given me more coverage across more operating systems than what I have had in the past; I have more visibility now into a lot more areas."

"If one supports the notion that layered security needs to focus on inside out risk instead of trying to securing the perimeter - a very compelling tool for where to focus your infosec/forensic brain power."

"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"The most valuable feature I have found in the system is its comprehensive end-to-end protection."

"I like the tool's honeypot feature. Some features include having a honeypot to detect attacks in a certain area. Additionally, there is RDP protection, which means that when we remote into our server or any endpoint, we must enter a password as a second layer of security. It can also integrate with next-generation firewalls."

"We use the product for network protection from any malicious threat."

"The user-friendliness of Sangfor Endpoint Secure is particularly impressive. Even with basic technical knowledge, users can easily navigate the system, make changes, and implement updates."

"The tool's AI feature is helpful in endpoint security."

"The tool's most valuable features are control access, endpoint security, and load balancing of ISPs."

"It has a quick response time, threat intelligence, cybersecurity features, quick report generation, behavior analysis, dynamic detection, and quarantine features."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."

"The product's reporting isn't great."

"We are in the process of removing it from many of our endpoint clients because it's not really showing enough value for them at the moment."

"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."

"One area for improvement is that this solution isn't so easy for the end-user, especially at level 1."

"Cybereason is not flexible in terms of needing a lot of servers, or assets."

"Technical support needs to improve."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"It is complicated to establish a tunnel due to technical issues in the VPN system."

"Currently, the tool lacks reporting functionalities."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure performs poorly."

"Sometimes, the VPN is not secure and doesn't work properly in Sangfor Endpoint Secure."

"When an issue occurs, the response time for first-level support and the time taken for meetings could be improved."

"I face issues while migrating from Kaspersky to Sangfor Endpoint Secure."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure should include healing capabilities."

"I believe Sangfor Endpoint Secure could improve in terms of its user interface and management capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"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."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"I am using the Community edition."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure is not a cheap solution."

"Price-wise, Sangfor Endpoint Secure can be considered a competitively priced product in the market as it offers quite low prices compared to other solutions."

"We were using Hyper-V. So, we switched to Sangfor because of the pricing."

"The solution is cheap. It is cheaper than other products by 15-20 percent."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure's pricing is cheap. I rate it seven out of ten."

"Its "pay as you grow" model offers cost-effectiveness compared to major cloud providers."

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
