Cortex XDR Likes & Dislikes

Palo Alto Cortex XDR provides strong visibility by joining endpoint, network, cloud and identity data into a single console, which helps quickly find the root cause and full scope of attacks. It has the capability to prevent advanced threats like zero-day and fileless attacks that traditional antivirus tools miss. It supports smart alert grouping and automated corrections to cut down on noise.

The customer service is the worst part of Palo Alto. They are such a large company that they are not willing to listen to the issues that customers have. Another issue is RBAC. It is overly complicated, especially if you have multiple Palo products.
