We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Fidelis Elevate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Among the most valuable features are the alert timeline, the alert story, which is pretty detailed. It gives us complete insight into what exactly happened on the endpoint. It doesn't just say, "Malware detected." It tells us what caused that malware to be detected and how it was detected. It gives us a complete timeline from beginning to end."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"The most valuable features are spam filtering, attachment filtering, and antivirus protection."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"A simple dashboard without having to use MS Sentinel would be a welcome improvement."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The advanced threat-hunting capabilities are phenomenal, and the security copilot enhances that, but some data elements could be better or have more context inside of the advanced tables themselves. The schemas feel a little limited to what they're building into the product. It's probably just a maturity thing. I imagine we'll see the features I want in the next year."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"Sometimes, configurations take much longer than expected."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"Advanced attacks could use an improvement."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
