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.

Reporting effectiveness and advanced AI capabilities improve threat awareness while needing pricing simplification and licensing self-service
With pricing, they can improve by bundling their pricing because sometimes billing comes in a very long process. If they could bundle it as one solution and show the capabilities or features, they would be able to sell it more effectively, and as resellers, we could sell it to customers more easily. The technical support is responsive, but sometimes we experience limitations regarding the ability to add licensing. They could implement a self-service platform for assigning new licenses or ordering more. Currently, we depend on contacting someone who sends a new contract to sign through the process. They could change their licensing model, though I am not the right person to comment on functionality. On the reporting side, everything is covered.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"The most valuable feature, which I can describe as the '360 vision' of the inventory device, provides a complete view of all the devices."
"We have been using this solution for quite some time, and the AI functionality is quite advanced; we are able to provide insights on different aspects and read the reports easily."
"It provides visibility and a storyline to track the virus or malware's activities, showing infected processes and changes made."
"The most valuable features are the rollback feature, it's important for us. The AI models and are good."
"If there is any malicious behavior in the workstation or server, the tool stops or isolates it automatically and generates alerts."
"When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination."
"The cost is okay, compared to other products."
"Blocking browser navigation is a feature of the solution with which we have experienced success."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) does everything; it saves time, it saves money, and of course, it provides peace of mind."
"My advice for others considering Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is to use it, or any other Trellix products, as I believe they are excellent."
"The product and the services we have are quite good."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"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."
"We have a lot of false positives we see in the dashboard. I think this is the only problem we are facing."
"I would rate the scalability as seven out of ten. The capability is useful. Concerning the license, if I add one more device without a license, it will automatically subscribe to a license. I do not appreciate that."
"With pricing, they can improve by bundling their pricing because sometimes billing comes in a very long process."
"I would like to see them add support for both Android and iOS smartphones."
"The console has a lot of bugs, and it creates many issues."
"The endpoints and utilization are too high, which impacts the production activity."
"The CPU utilization of the product is quite high compared to its competitors."
"Initially, I was using it on servers, but it consumes a lot of resources on servers."
"The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work."
"When it comes to some unknown fileless attacks, the tool is not able to detect them properly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The solution lacks the ability to integrate with external platforms. In future releases of the solution, I would like to see the solution increase its integration capabilities with external platforms."
"An area for improvement in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is the historical search. For example: when you have information on the artifact and a precedent, you want to do a search, and that is a bit lacking in the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"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."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The pricing is average."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is not that expensive, but it's not something that a startup could buy. Pricing for it is for midsized businesses. There's an additional payment if you want data retention for more than thirty days. They gave us data retention for thirty days. Then if you want longer data retention, they have the paid option for a three-month data retention period and for a one-year data retention period."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is always high."
"The licensing costs attached to the solution are very easy to manage. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs."
"The price is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The cost is okay, compared to other products."
"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."
