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.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response
There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Provides comprehensive threat insights but needs more defensive playbooks
For Trellix Insights, there are both positive and negative aspects. Playbooks is a very good feature. We have about 12 Playbooks, which are actions that we can implement for adjusting the infrastructure to stop threats and vulnerabilities. That's the positive aspect. However, for the defensive Playbooks, when connecting with Trellix Insights, we have only one defensive Playbook. Some customers question why there is only one. While Playbooks and defensive Playbooks serve similar purposes, in Trellix Insights, defensive Playbooks appear at the top. It would be beneficial to have more than just one defensive Playbook. Trellix Insights has existed for many years, and since this new product was released, there has only been one defensive Playbook. This is an area that needs improvement. They need to add more defensive Playbooks quickly, considering many years have passed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Most of our customers in my country use CrowdStrike Falcon, and ever since then, they do not have serious incidents, such as a ransomware that has taken effect on all their critical infrastructures, including servers."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution offers great stability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing better visibility, host management, compliance, and real-time responses."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing good protection, logs, and reports, which I find very good."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The most important benefit of Trellix Insights is its capability to integrate with EPO and provide comprehensive information."
 

Cons

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"The UI is not efficient."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved by continuing to keep everything on the cutting edge."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved by addressing the side tabs and menu options, which represent the biggest area for enhancement."
"It would be beneficial to have more than just one defensive Playbook. Trellix Insights has existed for many years, and since this new product was released, there has only been one defensive Playbook."
