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.

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

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution is pretty scalable; you buy a lot of features, a known product, and you want it to run in any environment, and it does, so it's scalable enough."

"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."

"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."

"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."

"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."

"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."

"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."

More Fidelis Elevate pros

"The email security feature is really good."

"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."

"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."

"The Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform provides visibility into telemetry data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of environmental activities."

"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"

Cons

"Product might have some bugs."

"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

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

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."

"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all."

"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."

"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."

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."

"The solution lacks cloud integrations."

"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"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."

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

"It has a yearly renewal."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"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."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."

"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."

"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."

"The solution has competitive pricing."

"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."

"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
