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.

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It integrates well into the environment."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"The most valuable features of the solution are malware scanning and malware removal."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"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 dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"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."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."
"Very costly product."
"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."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"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."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
