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.

A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection
There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It prevents us from having to re-image computers if they are found to be harboring malware."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the Community edition."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"It is an expensive solution."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
