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.

Automation has transformed threat detection and incident response and improves team efficiency
Cynet can be improved by enhancing third-party integrations, improving reporting and dashboard customization, and providing more advanced AI-driven analytics. Customization for automated response workflows would also help organizations tailor the platform to their specific security needs. There is room for improvement in reporting customization, third-party integration, and advanced analytics. I had to spend additional time tuning the alerts during the initial deployment to reduce false positives and align the detection with our environment, but these were minor challenges, and the platform has performed well for our specific needs. Regarding Cynet's AI capabilities, its governance and security capabilities are effective, but greater transparency into AI decision-making and additional customization options would further enhance confidence and control. There is still room for improvement in predictive analytics and better transparency into how certain detections are generated.

Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"Since using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, our MTTR has reduced, which means the mean time to resolve any ticket has been reduced."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"One of the main benefits of Cynet is the level of visibility it gives, as well as the level of detail it provides."
"As a reseller, I believe the best functions in Cynet's product are the lightweight agent and good detection performance."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The automated response capability in SentinelOne enhances security operations. It means I don't have to worry about having too many security people watching it because you can automate a lot of the tasks."
 

Cons

"I think Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could be improved by having tiered pricing by device, especially since we have not covered mobile devices because the cost is very high."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"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."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The performance utilization on the device that it's monitoring. This aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten; one is very expensive, and ten is an absolutely cheap product."
