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.

Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows
The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monitoring is most valuable."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The solution provides a data view of the Alpha systems with Trellix installs and makes small changes to the central management console. Nothing on the endpoints themselves works, but it focuses more on the management side."
"It is a great solution overall."
"We are able to use it as our primary encryption tool so we do not have to spend resources on another product for this purpose."
"This solution has helped to protect our organization against security threats."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The performance is good."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is a proven, robust, and cost-effective solution that protects the organization from different types of ransomware and attacks."
 

Cons

"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."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"What could be better is the performance impact on some machines and the complexity of configuration."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"We don't have very good local technical support."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"The price was fine."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"It is reasonably priced."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"This product is costly."
