Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks Implementation Team
We are a third-party integrator and implement the solution for customers. One staff person can handle an implementation.
As a customer, you receive a link which is your tenant for login. From there, deployment time is just how long it takes to get the installer agent and put on all of your endpoints. For example, if you are a corporation that has 300 laptops, then you install the agent on each and every server.
You will need about three hours to configure the solution and then it is up to your admins to install the agent on all endpoints. There is usually a way to automatically install agents from the Active Directory or other tools.
You need to integrate your network traffic to the XDR itself. If you have a Palo Alto Firewall, it is easy to navigate through integration. If you have FortiGate or Cisco firewalls, then you can configure the firewall to send the log to the cloud. It is sometimes hard to convince customers to send or keep their logs on the cloud.

Amjad Khan
Information Technology Manager at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
The deployment was done by two engineer from Palo Alto and me. They assured me by installing in two to three machines. There were very simple steps to follow, like three to four steps, for the installation. Afterwards, they took care of deploying Traps for all the users.
The admin has been responsible for maintaining it.

Information Security Manager at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
We implemented the solution in-house and worked with one telecom rep for network permissions.
Two of our cybersecurity engineers deployed to 4,000 endpoints in two months. We had a little bit of an issue with Linux but resolved it so all endpoints were fully operational within three months.

Rob Haller
Security Engineer at U.S. Acute Care Solutions
We implemented it in-house. We incrementally did some systems to make sure that it wouldn't block anything that it shouldn't. After that, we used Active Directory to push it to everything else.
Very little staff is required for deployment and maintenance, as Traps is self-maintaining.

Luke Teeters
Lead IT Security Analyst at a mining and metals company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We did our implementation in-house. We required three to four people for the initial deployment: database administrator, network engineer, server administrator, and security analyst. Afterwards, it takes two people to maintain the solution, but it could be done with one person. We use two people for quality control.
For implementation strategy, if it was a new push or a build, set up your cloud portal, then do a test group, such as a pilot. Set up your policies how you would want them. From there, with your test group, you want to see if any alerts come in and what your endpoints are doing. Then, depending on your company, do a site-by-site implementation. It is integrated with Active Directory, so you can also do group implementation.

Network Manager of Cyber Defence at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
For the first installation we had a consultant, a Palo Alto dealer, consultant, and solution provider here in Madrid - Open3S. They're very good. Our experience with them was very positive. They're really competent. They really know what they're talking about. We were very happy with them.
The deployment required one or two people. Some days two people came, but normally, with one guy, it was okay.

Manager of InfoSec at Joann Fabrics
We deployed Traps ourselves. We went big bang and deployed all features at once. We had a strong understanding of our systems and were able to provide whitelisting settings up front that made sense. There was a bit of post-deployment work to resolve things that were missed, but all things considered the deployment strategy went smoothly and was the right call.
