We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and FortiXDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"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 most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability"
"Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade."
"The most valuable feature is probably the aggregation and correlation of the different telemetry points with Defender for Identity, Defender for Endpoint, and Defender for Cloud Apps. All of these various things are part of that portal. We've wanted that single pane of glass for years."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that Microsoft Defender XDR is easy to integrate with other Microsoft platforms or products."
"Another noteworthy feature that I find appealing in Microsoft Defender is the credit-backed simulation. This feature enables organizations to train their users on effectively responding to phishing emails through a simulated training environment."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"The data recovery and backup could be improved."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."

Hi Augusto,
The answer depends on what you are looking for and your current infrastructure. If you have Fortinet security infrastructure, it will "make sense" to go with them, if you have palo alto firewalls "then" Cortex XDR PRO.
However, As I am not completely familiar with FortiXDR, I am going to showcase why I will select Cortex XDR PRO:
0- Security: Cortex XDR PRO does really well compared to other endpoint products (NSS labs showed this, not sure what happened to them). Look info at MITRE.
1- More time and expertise on the XDR market: Cortex XDR was the first XDR platform out there to integrate, endpoint, network and cloud.
2- Integrations with other firewalls: Cortex XDR can integrate checkpoint, fortigate and cisco ASA logs.
3- Licensing model: You can start with EPP (Prevent), PRO for endpoint (EDR + other features), and PRO for network (integrate fw/cloud) using the same cloud platform.
I believe that the best way is to see both product by yourself. Let me know if you are interested to see Cortex XDR PRO, we can schedule a call. We have some clients in Brazil (assuming that based in your title).
Regards,
Edwardo
