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.

Ransomware protection has made data security reliable and efficient

There are not many disadvantages, but they need to do some work on DLP integration. Support could be improved. Sometimes it is difficult to find exact solutions, and people occasionally get stuck, resulting in delayed responses. The main areas for improvement are support responsiveness and the additional enhancement with the DLP integration.

Endpoint monitoring has strengthened incident response and provides rapid isolation and forensics

Tanium provides an endpoint which is isolated from the network and environment. We can easily search its logs and history and connect remotely directly to that particular device which has been isolated from the network. We can search for the history and logs, including audit logs and event logs. The complete activity of the user or owner of the device is visible to us. We can see the artifacts of particular USB transfers internally for official use. We can not only connect remotely but also see the device status and how many failures have occurred within the network so far. We can see the IP address, how many times it has changed its IP address, and how many times it was connected to VPN or external VPN or internal VPN and what has been searched while on VPN. We can block the IOCs or IP addresses as well. We can block domains, hashes, SHA values, SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-5 and MD5. Although I am not completely involved in the automation team, we do have that team and I have worked in some CERT recently. Tanium is more useful while we are in the CERT because most of the times when we are on high alert, Tanium does play a main role for that particular incident or any high case. Tanium is a simple tool and we can easily integrate it to many devices and it is a mandatory tool to secure an endpoint. It is mandatory to give any RDP connection and the tool should be present in the particular device. It is completely mandatory and it is in the policy as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

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

"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."

"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."

"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."

"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."

"It gives you a really good balanced portfolio to work with for your machines, not just on the malware protection and the firewall protection, but the virtual container, the ability to manage endpoints, the ability to manage patches."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."

"Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection allows our organization's clients to be managed and inventoried remotely."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection pros

"Tanium is used for endpoint management, specifically patching and configuration management."

"Tanium is stable and it is also lightweight."

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"Tanium is highly scalable."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"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."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"This is a very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."

"The locking and backup capabilities of the solution can be improved."

"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."

"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."

"Some competing products outperform Comodo in this area."

"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."

"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."

"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."

More Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"The solution can give a lot of false positives."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"There are downsides and drawbacks in Tanium, and there is room for improvement from my perspective."

More Tanium cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
