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.

Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments

The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."

"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."

"Our security posture has improved; it has definitely contained and prevented some malicious attacks from happening."

"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."

"It has reduced the number of virus and malware incidents and calls we have received compared to prior to deploying this product, and our overall security posture has improved."

"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."

"The feature that stands out the most is that when someone clicks on a link in an email... [if] that link is malicious and it has some malware or keylogger attached to it, when it opens up in that Bromium virtualized browser, there's no chance of it actually being on the machine and running, because as soon as they click that "X" in the upper right-hand side of the browser, everything just vanishes. That is an added plus."

"Looking at it in the big picture of the risk that you're mitigating and the protection that you're getting, it's phenomenal."

More HP Wolf Security pros

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"Auto-Remediation"

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"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."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms."

"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."

"When you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day."

"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."

"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability."

"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."

"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."

"Initial setup was complex. There were many configurations that needed to be worked out with the vendor. The setup required hands-on assistance from Bromium."

More HP Wolf Security cons

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"This is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."

"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."

"The product came as a bundle with the machine."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The pricing is high."

"The solution is very cost-effective."
