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.

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

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has accelerated the response time for my security team, so we have been able to resolve issues faster than usual."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"McAfee Endpoint Security is easy to use, and it integrates well."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"My total rating for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a ten out of ten."
"The solution is pretty good for threat prevention, web protection, adaptive threat protection, and other tasks."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"I would like to recommend the solution; it's better and, pricing wise, it's worth it, especially compared to other advanced malware security solutions in the market that are very costly."
 

Cons

"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."
"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."
"Limited remote connection."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"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."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"We had a very large problem that has, unfortunately, not been solved. Simply put, when we start the computer the program will not start."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"The product is expensive."
