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.

Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team

A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

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

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I like the dashboard. It looks very simple."

"The most valuable features are the static/dynamic analyses. Deep Instinct's predictive model has very high accuracy and provides threat information for unknown malware, such as malware classification, static analysis information, and sandbox information."

"We think of this product as a fishing net that fits into the computer and has all of the capabilities and understanding of what ransomware and malware look like."

"When you take a product like Deep Instinct and remove the overhead while allowing the organization to function as though there were no security inhibitors yet still provide that high level of security, to me that's a huge win because we’re not sacrificing productivity."

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

"I really like the behavioral analysis feature, because it looks at all the different things, like arbitrary shellcode and reflective DLL. It looks at a lot of things that threat actors use as threat vectors to get into the environment."

"Deep Instinct has helped us to be a lot more proactive on the security front, rather than reactive, saving us a lot of time in incident response and significantly reducing our SOC’s endpoint protection management time and false positives."

"Deep Instinct can actually predict unknown malware that is going to come out, as well, because of the way they have built this technology."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pros

"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

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

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"If they can bring some additional, complementary solutions, like network scanning and the like, that will help. If they had some sort of a firewall which could help detect DDoS attacks and other things, it would be an improvement"

"The Achilles heel in our industry is reporting. I would love to see exceptional, outstanding level of reporting."

"Its support for Linux and Unix operating systems can be improved. Currently, they cover macOS and Windows, but they don't cover Linux and some of the Unix products. Pricing is also an issue. Its pricing is not as aggressive as it could be, and its price makes it difficult to sell. Customers feel that they can get an antivirus for a lower price, even though it is not a similar product. It is technically different. Their SLAs can be better. They have to give you 24/7 support, but their SLAs are not very good. They should be better documented, and the offerings should also be a little bit better. What happens is that the SLAs end up in the hands of the intermediary, seller, or the local partner of Deep Instinct in a country. The customers want very fast SLAs in a very short time, but Deep Instinct doesn't give them at the same speed. Having said that, SLAs are important when you have a lot of issues, but this product doesn't have too many issues, so it is not a big concern. However, for a customer who doesn't know the product, it could be a concern."

"Some of the features are very resource intensive, such as the ransomware detection. It consumed so much of the resource on the endpoints that we have disabled those functions."

"If the tool was able to provide fine-tuning capabilities from the product's end depending on the environment of its user, then it would be a good improvement in the solution."

"I would like to see improvement in the user interface so that the user has more control."

"Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware."

"The documentation could be improved. They have a manual, but it is not excessive."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform cons

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"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 higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"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."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Their pricing is very competitive. It is good, fair, and a lot cheaper than what we were doing with Cylance."

"One thing about their licensing program that I like is that just one covers the server as well as on the endpoint as well as mobile devices. There is no complexity in calculating how many SKUs I need for mobile, for laptop, for desktop, and for servers. It's very simple and that makes it much easier to budget."

"There are no additional costs on the price, and our company has a support contract, which bundles in those services anyway."

"Its pricing is too high, but that is not because of the product. It is expensive because of the cost of the console. You need a console to control the whole thing, but the console is expensive. You have to split this cost among all possible users. Normally, to be able to make it economically attractive, you need at least 1,000 agents, PCs, or users. If you have a customer with 300 to 500 agents, PCs, or users, it becomes too pricey."

"In comparison to the other products out there, it's exceptionally competitively priced. When you consider the lower administrative overhead that it facilitates, it's an absolute value."

"If I include the false positive rate and the detection rate in the comparison, Deep Instinct is worth its price."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive but we are satisfied with DI's performance."

"There is a need for customers of the product to pay towards the licensing costs of the tool."

More Deep Instinct Prevention Platform pricing and cost advice

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"It is relatively cheap."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The pricing is high."
