ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.
Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Vincacyber
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.
Zaid Farooqui - PeerSpot reviewer
CIO at Indus Motor Company
Helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence
The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources. It does a very good job in correlating and identifying threat actors. Its integration with other products such as HCI, Firewall, and VDI solution for native control and detection also adds significant value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"The dashboard is very beautiful because it provides everything on a centralized console."
"Cynet has an excellent solution from a technical standpoint, but they also have a great support system that extends to the attack itself."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate all the vulnerabilities or threats detected from different sources."
"Sangfor Cyber Command has helped our organization by providing a comprehensive picture of our cyber posture in terms of threat intelligence."
"The tool is a good product in the NDR market. Its valuable features are ease of management and breach of response features. It is an easy-to-learn solution."
 

Cons

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"One area where Cynet needs improvement is tamper protection for Mac and Linux agents."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"I have had a bit of trouble in the commercial support as a reseller in a country where we started to sell Cynet."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now."
"Technical support could be improved, and I rate them a seven. The support team has fewer cybersecurity resources capable of managing Cyber Command compared to other solutions."
"The solution could improve by incorporating email security."
"The product needs to improve its dashboard. Integration with existing systems has been challenging. When comparing it with Trend Micro, which offers an all-in-one NDR solution, the tool's integration process can be difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
