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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly
WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"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."
"The convenience has been great."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"The customer portal by WithSecure is a lot better with WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection than it was with Countercept."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
 

Cons

"There are a large number of false positives."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"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."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"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."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"User management could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement for WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection, especially in the deployment tools, which could be a little better, but not by much."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
