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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"The tool is easy to use."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

"Auto-Remediation"

"My advice about this product is that it is a very good solution and offers a stable and trusted software that runs smoothly and is easy to deploy."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

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

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"Limited remote connection."

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"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."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

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

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The pricing is high."

"It is relatively cheap."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
