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.

Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments

The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

A solid low-code builder that helps build workflows and processes in a variety of settings

It's not complex, but you need certified skills for setup to be easy. It is different for an L1 resource, who has a basic understanding of things and may not be a developer who deeply understands how to build up the solution, where that understanding is present with an L3 or L2 resource. For maintenance, you need at least one skill set for each module. You would need one for UEM and one more for MDM, which is the ideal way to do it unless you have people who know the modules in and out. We have a larger team for IT service management because the demand for IT service management is high, but we can see that for other modules as well now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Looking at it in the big picture of the risk that you're mitigating and the protection that you're getting, it's phenomenal."

"It has reduced the number of virus and malware incidents and calls we have received compared to prior to deploying this product, and our overall security posture has improved."

"The feature that stands out the most is that when someone clicks on a link in an email... [if] that link is malicious and it has some malware or keylogger attached to it, when it opens up in that Bromium virtualized browser, there's no chance of it actually being on the machine and running, because as soon as they click that "X" in the upper right-hand side of the browser, everything just vanishes. That is an added plus."

"Bromium allows us to safely view images and quickly and safely surf our network so that we can take proper care of our patients efficiently, effectively, and expeditiously."

"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."

"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."

"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."

"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."

More HP Wolf Security pros

"The solution's most valuable features are its patch management functionality and provisioning."

"The key differentiator is that it manages mobile devices and laptops in the same console. Windows and Linux are on the same console. This is the only product that does this. It's really the best in the industry."

"The product has good stability."

"The best part about Ivanti and Matrix 42 is that they are low-code solution builders with drag-and-drop capabilities regarding service management."

"The most valuable features of the solution are accessing the data through the mobiles and meeting with the compliance for security best practices."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is cloud-based, which aids in deployment."

"Patching and remediation are the strongest features."

"It provides security features for unified endpoint management."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager [EOL] pros

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

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

"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."

"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."

"There are some false positives."

"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."

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."

"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability. It works well with attacks, but it doesn't work well with all software on the clients. There is a lot of troubleshooting and a lot of things that need to be tuned to make it work and not break things."

"The tool behaves differently when I ported to Windows 11."

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."

"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."

"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability."

"When you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day."

"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"

More HP Wolf Security cons

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager's support provided to its users by the vendor is one area that needs to improve."

"One of the features that Ivanti could improve is patching for non-Windows settings, such as Linux and Ubuntu."

"Some of the GUI features need improvement. In particular, navigation could be better optimized for quick navigation by the user."

"If I want to integrate the solution with any other solution, pushing the policies from the Ivanti side is a bit tough."

"When you open a new mobile, you automatically come onboard the mobile on the Ivanti platform but it needs some improvements."

"It could benefit from faster integration with new technologies, such as quicker adaptation to Windows updates. Additionally, more advanced customization options would be valuable."

"An area for improvement in Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is reporting. It's lacking. For example, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager reports should tell you if the agent is up to date, if the security patch is updated, etc."

"The product's blocking definition needs improvement."

More Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The price was fine."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"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."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product came as a bundle with the machine."

"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."

"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."

"Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager is more expensive than some of the products I've used. It follows module-based licensing, so it would be more costly if you had more modules. Your costs depend on what modules you need."

"The pricing is relatively high compared to some competitors."

"The licensing is based on assets for MDM or EM, where you need one license per asset. The license is annual, and it is not very expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest, and one is the cheapest, I rate its pricing a five."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is pretty expensive."
