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

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It secures my environment."

"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."

"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."

"The agents are easy to deploy."

"Dynamic Application Containment."

"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."

"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."

"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."

"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."

Cons

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"There are a large number of false positives."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."

"A policy-editing console should be added."

"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."

"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."

"We'd like better UI on the management screen."

"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."

"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

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

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"I am using the Community edition."

"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."
