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.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"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 product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."
"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."
"The dashboard is very beautiful because it provides everything on a centralized console."
"They really have a solid product that will save companies a lot of money in licensing costs if they give them a try."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The clients are surprised at the coverage and the peace of mind they get where they don't have to worry about certain things."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"The ease of log collection and stability of the platform are the most valuable features."
"We developed around this solution and received excellent support from the company."
"RSA enVision provides the full system visibility of your events within your IT ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is the management features. It's capable of managing large enterprises."
"The custom dashboard and correlation alerts in this solution improved our incident response process."
"The configuration part is very easy...The technical support was sincere in their responses...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reporting."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"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."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"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."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"They're a young company and very responsive but they probably need to mature in their processes."
"After only one month of implementation, an overall rating is premature."
"The only downside of Cynet is the reporting."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Licensing could be improved to be more oriented towards Managed Service Providers (MSPs)."
"In general, the solution currently isn't user-friendly."
"Whenever you perform the query, it takes too long."
"There is no future for this solution. It does not exist anymore."
"RSA enVision log manager is out of date and is not in use anymore."
"Sometimes the investigation panel and reporting engine work very slowly."
"The integration could be easier, it should support more products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"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."
"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."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"The pricing was good."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"We no longer pay a licensing fee because it is out of date and don't pay for support."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing a six."
