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.

Stable, good for malware detection and prevention

I use it for general endpoint protection and the usual stuff like malware detection and prevention It secures my environment. One thing that could be easier is initiating scans. If I want to scan an extra drive, it should be more straightforward. It's a bit clunky. I have been using it for…

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

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"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."

"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."

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It secures my environment."

"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."

"The best features Trellix Endpoint Security Platform offers are the advanced capabilities of their management platform and the effectiveness of the various configuration settings that can be applied, which for specific customers is really useful to have."

"It's easy to use and it's very powerful, and it offers nice endpoint protection."

"Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues."

"The solution made it possible for us to have visibility into the amount of malware and threats which were coming into our company, and it has helped to increase staff productivity."

"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."

"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable."

"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

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

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"One thing that could be easier is initiating scans."

"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."

"Its pricing needs to be improved."

"A quicker turnaround with patches and updates would be good."

"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 reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."

"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."

"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."

"It ended up not being what we hoped for in an endpoint solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"This is an expensive solution."

Information not available

"Licensing is paid yearly."

"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."

"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."

"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."

"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."

"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."

"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
