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.

Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations
The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at adcb
The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The technical support is very helpful."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"It is used as our primary in-line IDS/IPS system, replacing FireEye NX, and it catches more, looks at more ports than FireEye NX, and is a scalable appliance, unlike our NX which was saturated and shut itself down."
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform provides visibility into telemetry data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of environmental activities."
 

Cons

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"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."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"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."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price was fine."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
