Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Setup is smooth and management is seamless, while improvements in email filtering transparency enhance efficiency

For data correlation, we just haven't worked long enough with it to assess its impact on our overall threat response strategy. We prefer a system that simply informs us when there is a problem; we don't want to engage too much in threat hunting. Therefore, we're not looking to create a SOC from this, which is also why we moved from XDR to MDR. There are areas for improvement, including the difficulty in getting the right handles on the applied email filters. It's sometimes unclear why one email is treated as spam and another is not, even if they contain similar content. Making the process of how emails are treated a bit more transparent would be beneficial.

Strong endpoint protection has simplified compliance and reduced effort for large user environments

One of the best features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is its endpoint security, and I have been using it for the last four and a half to five years, so I can say this is one of the best EDR endpoint security solutions I have ever seen. The features that make Trellix Endpoint Security Platform stand out for me are ease of use and analytics, which I really appreciate the most. Trellix Endpoint Security Platform positively impacts my organization, ensuring we are compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, and all other compliance requirements, so there are no issues with that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Since then, we are working with it, and so far, we have no problems; it's working smoothly with email security."

"I find that the auto-response capability is most valuable."

"It provides an in-depth analysis and gives recommendations, along with a historical search capability."

"Scalability is pretty easy. It's easy to increase the capacity. You can just add on licenses to the existing license, and the duration of the license can be adjusted. For example, you've already bought a license for a year, and you want to add some more users. We can just add on licenses for the remaining period so that the entire organization can have the same expiry date. That makes renewal easier."

"I appreciate the overall utilization of AI to enhance security posture."

"The solution has an automatic patch management capability."

"The HyperDetect feature in GravityZone XDR is effective."

"I would rate GravityZone XDR more than nine out of ten."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."

"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."

"With the rise of malware and, recently, ransomware cases, using VSE assures you a positive Return-on-Investment."

"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."

"Technical support is always available and very helpful."

"McAfee has helped our organization by keeping all of our computer systems secure from viruses or other intrusions."

"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."

"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."

Cons

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"It's not very mature, and additional costs are involved."

"Another area of improvement is CPU utilization. CPU utilization could be improved."

"There are areas for improvement, including the difficulty in getting the right handles on the applied email filters."

"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products. Additionally, there might be a need to simplify the interface in the future."

"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."

"Trellix Endpoint Security Platform needs to sort out their issues with the organization and outreach to clients to improve their platform because they have been lagging behind."

"While I cannot recall anything specific at the moment, there are many areas of the solution that I wish to see improved."

"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."

"We have disabled it due to the fact that a lot of stuff was being blocked, it was blocking a lot of internal stuff, which meant it needed some fine-tuning."

"The interface is complex."

"I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well."

"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."

"There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"The price was fine."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"It's not the price of the software itself that makes it expensive. It's because you have to buy a VM; you have to buy additional hardware. All those things make it slightly costlier."

"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."

"Pricing is fair."

"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

"The product pricing is high."

"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
