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

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"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."

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

"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."

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

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."

"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."

"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."

Cons

"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 would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"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."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

"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."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"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."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."

"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

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

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

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

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

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

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"This is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

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

"The pricing is high."
