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.

Dashboard offers comprehensive views with efficient system updates and integration

There is one significant issue with WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response. For computers with limited RAM, such as 16 gigabytes, the software is not optimal as it requires between four to six gigabytes of RAM to run. I don't use the Threat Intelligence feature from WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response as it requires extra activation, which I have not implemented.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."

"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."

"Now, instead of us having to go through that analysis, they actually give us a monthly report that shows us: "Here's what you got hit with, here's what would have happened, here are the forensics behind the attack," and, obviously, Bromium stopped it."

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

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

"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."

"Our security posture has improved; it has definitely contained and prevented some malicious attacks from happening."

"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."

More HP Wolf Security pros

"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."

"It offers good scalability."

"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."

"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."

"We've been very pleased with its capabilities."

"The product is stable."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The integration and user interface of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response are effective, with a comprehensive dashboard that allows users to quickly identify and address problems, add computers, and send system updates."

Cons

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

"The onboarding process could be better."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"The GUI could be improved."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"They have always struggled with usability. The protection that it offers you is tremendous, but there's definitely an impact with use of resources on the computer. It's gotten a lot better now with Win 10. But sometimes, when you open up a website, it's going to take longer than it would without Bromium, and it's the same with documents."

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

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

"Initial setup was complex. There were many configurations that needed to be worked out with the vendor. The setup required hands-on assistance from Bromium."

"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."

"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."

"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."

More HP Wolf Security cons

"The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is scalable. My company has 800-1000 customers."

"The tool’s mobile version needs to be improved."

"The website rules are too complicated."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"Its automated functionality could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"This is an expensive solution."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"Very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a three out of ten. Its pricing is competitive."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response's licensing costs are yearly."

"I rate WithSecure a four out of ten because it's quite economical."

"The solution's price is moderate."
