Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks Reviews

We use the product as a detection and response application.

The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection. It is very useful in detecting threats to databases. The last meter statistics prove the efficient capabilities of the solution.

It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive.

We have been using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for three years.

The product is 100% stable. I have never received any complaints from the customers.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easily scalable as it is a cloud-based product.

We provide support services for our customers. Palo Alto's support services are expensive, and customers also encounter language barriers.

The initial process is simple. It requires training of about three to four days to understand the installation process. It is deployed on the cloud. The number of software engineers required depends on the number of the endpoints.

We pay in advance for the product's license. It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company. We can split this payment monthly, quarterly, or yearly, according to the customer's requirements. For a cost-benefit analysis when choosing a security solution, consider factors such as the number of attacks prevented, the impact of those attacks, potential losses, and other hidden costs.

I rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for ten out of ten. It could be improved from a commercial perspective. It could approach the SMB market as well.

The solution is like a next-level EDR. It can collect information from other solutions to have a global view of the risks and vulnerabilities.

The product has an intuitive dashboard. The first time a client interacts with the solution, they do not face any problems. It is easy for the client to navigate through the tool.

It is a complex solution to implement.

My organization sells the solution.

I did not have any problem with support.

Positive

I believe the implementation is not very easy, but it is not very complex either.

The price of the product is not very economical. It is suitable for clients that have a lot of money to invest.

Customers often ask for proof of concept. People wanting to use the solution should analyze the different tools that can be integrated with the product. At first, clients only consider it an EDR, but later, they might realize that the tool does not have all the capabilities they need. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The tool's use cases are relevant to security. 

The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface. 

I have been working with the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

I would rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten. 

The product's technical support is good. 

Positive

The tool's setup is easy. The solution's deployment took five days to complete. 

The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis. 

I would rate the tool a seven out of ten. 

Cortex XDR does the stitching between a number of security domains, like email security, API security, and web security. The solution does the stitching from different sources and makes a logical incident.

We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action. We don't need to navigate different solutions and tools or use our human intelligence to correlate all the information to make the logic. Cortex XDR entirely does it, and we can take action.

Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy. Cortex XDR’s technical support should also be improved.

Cortex XDR should provide a feature to remove or uninstall an agent directly from the console itself without the help of an IT engineer. No one wants to do a manual installation of the agent. Everyone is looking for a solution to remove the agent from the console directly.

I have been working with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for two years.

I rate Cortex XDR a ten out of ten for stability.

I rate Cortex XDR a five out of ten for scalability.

The technical support of Cortex XDR and other OEM products is not very good. Cortex XDR's technical support does not usually respond quickly.

Neutral

I rate Cortex XDR’s initial setup an eight out of ten.

Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable. I rate Cortex XDR a five out of ten for pricing.

I am using the latest version of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. Cortex XDR is usually deployed in our clients’ organization on cloud. The time it takes to deploy Cortex XDR depends totally upon the organization.

The biggest drawback of Cortex XDR is that it has a heavyweight agent. Cortex XDR would be a good product if this issue could be resolved.

Overall, I rate Cortex XDR an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for telemetry and for its anti-virus capability.

The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better.

The product's pricing could be better.

I have been using the tool for several years.

The solution is stable. I would rate its stability a nine out of ten. 

The product is scalable. 

The technical support team is good.

The initial setup was easy.

The tool is worth its money. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Our clients want to correlate information they have in their network. Many engineers or companies have different tools like CMs, firewalls, VPNs, and some other things related to networks. They mentioned that after they acquired the Cortex XDR solution they have all of the information in one place. That is important because they improved the time to solve security issues.

One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. 

Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network.

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.

I have worked with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network for about four years.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network is a stable solution. I have been working with it for years, and it only went down once.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a nine.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network is a scalable solution.

Technical support is okay.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and not very complicated. I think it takes about two hours to deploy this solution. The number of personnel needed depends on the company. For example, banks usually have five cybersecurity engineers installing and maintaining this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the initial setup a seven.

I don't like that they have different types of licenses.

On a scale from one to nine, I would give licensing costs a seven.

I consider Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network a good solution. They have good support, and they listen to customer feedback. 

On a scale from one to nine, I would give Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Network a nine.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a network management solution.

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

I have sold Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks within the last 12 months.

Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution.

The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good.

The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks an eight out of ten.

I'm testing the product right now. I use the solution for endpoint security.

Everything is fine. 

It'll not slow down your system when compared to others.

The initial setup is easy.

I'd like the solution to provide URL filtering and web-based prevention. We'd like to block web pages at a high level.

We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning.

I've been using the solution for a year.

The product is very stable and the performance is good. It doesn't slow down the systems it runs on. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution can scale well.

More than 100 people are using the solution right now. 

We've never needed the assistance of technical support just yet.

I've also used McAfee MVISION Endpoint. 

I'm testing them both and finding the advantages and disadvantages between them.

The solution is very easy to set up.

You do have to pay for a license in order to use a solution. It's expensive.

We're a reseller.

We are using the latest, most up-to-date version, of the product.

I would recommend using it with another protection layer. Cortex should provide an additional layer of security apart from this. You might have to integrate with other vendors also.

If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. If we had more advanced security features, I'd rate it higher.

We have deployed Cortex XDR for a couple of clients in manufacturing.

Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus.

The dashboard could be more user-friendly.

I've been using Cortex XDR for two years.

Cortex XDR is stable enough.

Cortex's scalability is good. We have about 200 users on it at the moment. 

Palo Alto support is great. 

Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied. We need two people to deploy and maintain the solution. 

Our clients pay for the license every year. It's just a standard fee with no additional costs. 

I rate Cortex XDR eight out of 10. 

It can work as a standalone solution, however, it also fully integrates with the firewall. It operates on an endpoint level and on firewall level. It's endpoint security, so there are not 35 use cases. It's pretty specific.

Overall, it's a great platform. It integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors. 

The ease of use is excellent. 

I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing. It's really fantastic. In a few clicks, you can just have the full root cause. 

The price is quite interesting. It's not overly expensive.

The solution is stable. 

I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises. 

What would be interesting, is if it could also read IoT protocols. If they can improve on the IoT part that would be great. In general, in this area, they can still improve.

It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all. 

The solution is quite new. I've been using it for approximately the last two years. It hasn't been that long just yet. 

There are no performance issues. It's really very stable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The product is absolutely scalable. It's an enterprise solution. However, one less positive thing about it, is that it's only from 200 users, from 200 endpoints. That's bad. What do you do with clients who have only 100 endpoints? They cannot purchase Cortex. That has to be improved, with high priority. Palo Alto is aware of that.

The pricing is quite good. It's interesting. It's not a particularly expensive option. 

We are using the Cortex Pro version of the solution. 

I'd advise users to do a proof of concept (POC) and try it out. It's amazing. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. It's one of the top solutions on the market. We've been very happy with it so far.
