We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Cybereason XDR 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."Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"Setting up Microsoft 365 Defender is easy. It's a user-friendly solution that provides threat protection. It has good stability and scalability."
"Advanced hunting is good. I like that. We can drill down to lots of details."
"We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing."
"I like Defender XDR's automation capabilities. XDR isn't automated by default, but you can automate it to respond. If an attack is performed anywhere within the organization, you can isolate that instance from the network. This is what I can figure out for it. When integrated with Sentinel, you can set up playbooks to automate all the alerts gathered on Sentinel from different Microsoft solutions. Sentinel has a wider range of capabilities than XDR."
"It gives a lot of flexibility in terms of configuration and customization as per the business requirements."
"It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints."
"I like the easy integration and advanced possibilities. We can implement it at customer sites in a few clicks, but we can also dive deep and drill down to extended features. There's a very good starting point to get into this product and all the features from Defender."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"The abundance of sub-dashboards and sub-areas within the main dashboard can be confusing, even if it all technically makes sense."
"There are still some components, such as vulnerability management within the vendor product, where improved integration would be beneficial."
"The documentation on their website is somewhat outdated and doesn't show properly. I wanted to try a query in Microsoft Defender 365. When I opened the related documentation from the security blog on the Microsoft website, the figures were not showing. It was difficult to understand the article without having the figures. The figures were there in the article, but they were not getting loaded, which made the article obsolete."
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The GUI could be improved."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The licensing model is complex to understand. It requires expertise to explain how the licensing works. You need expertise to guide you through the subscription plan."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
