Perfect correlation and XDR capabilities for network traffic plus endpoint security
The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR. If you are not integrating it or feeding in your network traffic, then you are just buying a normal antivirus which doesn't make any sense. You are paying double the price to use the antivirus feature or to say you have XDR, but in reality you are not using it. The solution should include an on-premises option because some customers want only on-premises. It would be hard, but good to do if possible. Open XDR would be beneficial in the future. Right now, the solution is Closed XDR so cannot communicate with the few new vendors in the Open XDR market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Very costly product."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The product pricing is reasonable. The licensing model was flexible based on the number of endpoints."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
