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.

Our team has strengthened endpoint protection and simplifies centralized security monitoring
While I believe SonicWall Capture Client is a good tool, it has some incompatibility with some applications that is very aggressive sometimes, and in this situation, it needs some fine-tuning, aggressive fine-tuning, or maybe sometimes needs to open a trouble ticket to make a fine-tuning. We experienced sometimes that SonicWall needs to make a patch or something because two times we experienced some incompatibility with some products. For example, we experienced some issues with Splunk, and they made a hotfix quickly to prepare some troubleshooting. I believe SonicWall needs to make more testing regarding the compatibilities with some commercial applications.

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 aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"It is easy to use."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"Low performance requirements."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Overall, the solution is stable."
"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"SonicWall Capture Client provides dual protection through two multi-engines: SonicWall Capture Client sandboxing and SentinelOne agent, with features like content blocking, real-time 24/7 protection without signature updates, and advanced machine learning that eliminates concerns about manual updates, making it more protective and easier to deploy."
"SonicWall Capture Client is the best endpoint security product I've ever used."
"The solution has this very useful rollback feature, in which even if the system is infected by the worst malware or ransomware or anything, your data won't be lost."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
 

Cons

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"We weren't very happy with the product itself and therefore don't know if it is worth it to spend the money we have on it."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."
"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
"They should improve their user interface."
"The implementation is not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"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."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The pricing is high."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"The product is very expensive."
