What do you dislike most about this product?
There is a need to add some extra functionality and visibility inside the agents. Also, technical issues arise because of a lack of heart beats. It has high complexity due to it demands high resources and is hard to use. There is a need for full incorporation with Mac.

It supports Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android. It appropriately identifies the threats with behavioral analysis and then reveals the main reason to boost up the investigations. Incorporation with enforcement points maximizes containment that allows users to stop attacks. Its setup is very easy and is better to use as it enables quick updates. It provides zero-day spyware security and has made the solution safe. It has a fantastic GUI. It has the ability to correlate logs and events automatically.

What differentiates Palo Alto Cortex XDR from other similar products?
I would like to have been able to find it a little earlier, in our search for a software where we could obtain safe monitoring, we implemented several options in software until we got to Cortex XDR and it was the platform that we all loved the most in general, for meeting all our requirements in the company.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Internal problems with our data, they were not completely safe and as a good organization that wants to keep its files protected, we turned to software to help us with this big problem and we have really found the best tool.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Like any company, we needed to have a tool of this type, to solve and stop the attacks that we had previously. I have nothing negative to add about Cortex XDR, everything we have been able to see is excellent.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a very effective option to have a protected system at all times, being the best platform that we have handled so far in the organization. I just recommend it, it works for me without problems and I hope you do too, it is totally a reliable platform.
