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.

Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection
Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"Check Point Antivirus has positively impacted our organization by protecting our systems and computers, saving time, costs, and preventing data loss."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"The best features Check Point Harmony Endpoint offers are its comprehensive and proactive approach; these features stand out because it's very lightweight and has very good anti-ransomware protection."
"They have a better endpoint catchment rate due to their reliability."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"I found the fact of working across multiple attack vectors easy and more beneficial."
"They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that."
"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."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
"Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well."
"There could be more additions to the compatible systems and applications for integration purposes."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint works well overall, but one area I would like to see improved is the reporting and dashboard experience."
"It's not easy to investigate an incident that you find in the company. Users often face trouble when downloading files, so it is very slow in terms of how it works."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
"The documentation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint needs improvement because it is very hard to find on the internet and it is not intuitive."
"The only drawback is the integration process."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"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."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
