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

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"It is a simple platform to use."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."

"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."

"The new central console is better than the earlier one."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."

"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."

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."

"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."

"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."

"Some customers feel that the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) agent consumes more memory and resources in their environment, which is a major issue we are facing."

"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."

"Its pricing needs to be improved."

"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."

"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."

"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"I am using the Community edition."

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

"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's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"Very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."

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

"Licensing is paid yearly."

"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."

"No comment."
