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.

Has consistently delivered double-layer protection and simplified policy application while needing mobile compatibility and better MacOS support

A significant limitation is that SonicWall Capture Client cannot be installed on smartphones, as there is no mobile version available.Occasionally, the Sentinel engine becomes unresponsive, particularly when customers do not properly restart or shutdown their systems. This requires a hard restart after installation to resolve the issue. Installation on Mac OS can be challenging, requiring multiple attempts due to version compatibility requirements. We must ensure the SonicWall Capture Client version is stable for Mac OS. The RAM usage is higher compared to SentinelOne, utilizing approximately 150 megabytes of memory. This is a common concern from customers, and reducing RAM consumption would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."

"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"It is easy to use."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

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

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"There are a large number of false positives."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"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."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"They should improve their user interface."

"The implementation is not easy."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

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

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

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

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"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."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"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."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"The product is very expensive."
