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.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments

The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

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

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has given us better endpoint visibility and richer investigation context, allowing us to identify suspicious activity, understand the attack path, and contain potential threats much faster than before."

"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."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."

"The tool is easy to use."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."

"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."

"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."

"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."

"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"

"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."

"CylancePROTECT is going to tell you if there are any issues and you are going to be able to see everything from one single dashboard."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."

"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."

"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."

"Now, instead of us having to go through that analysis, they actually give us a monthly report that shows us: "Here's what you got hit with, here's what would have happened, here are the forensics behind the attack," and, obviously, Bromium stopped it."

"Looking at it in the big picture of the risk that you're mitigating and the protection that you're getting, it's phenomenal."

"Bromium allows us to safely view images and quickly and safely surf our network so that we can take proper care of our patients efficiently, effectively, and expeditiously."

"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."

"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."

More HP Wolf Security pros

Cons

"The GUI could be improved."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

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

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

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."

"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."

"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."

"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."

"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms."

"When you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day."

"They have always struggled with usability. The protection that it offers you is tremendous, but there's definitely an impact with use of resources on the computer. It's gotten a lot better now with Win 10. But sometimes, when you open up a website, it's going to take longer than it would without Bromium, and it's the same with documents."

"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."

"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."

"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"

"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"This is an expensive solution."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."

"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."

"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."

"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."

"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."

"The product came as a bundle with the machine."

"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."
