Powerful Threat Detection with Deep Visibility

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Palo Alto Cortex XDR from other similar products?

Connects data from endpoints, networks, and cloud for full visibility Correlates alerts into clear, actionable incidents Uses AI to detect advanced, hidden threats Reduces false positives and alert fatigue Integrates seamlessly with Palo Alto firewalls for deeper insight

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Cortex XDR is how it correlates alerts into a single, clear story. Instead of overwhelming you with random alerts, it shows you how an attack started, spread, and what it targeted—so you can act quickly and confidently. That kind of clarity is a game-changer for security teams.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Cortex XDR is that it can be complex to set up and fully integrate, especially in environments that don’t already use Palo Alto products. It has powerful features, but getting the most out of it sometimes requires a steep learning curve and tight integration across your security stack.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Ensure strong integration, train your team, start small, and leverage full features for maximum visibility and threat correlation.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
  • Efficient Service
