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.

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

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"McAfee Endpoint Security is easy to use, and it integrates well."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable, and we don't have any bugs being reported."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
 

Cons

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"One thing I could have used was a more detailed description of the HIPS signatures."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"It ended up not being what we hoped for in an endpoint solution."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"While I cannot recall anything specific at the moment, there are many areas of the solution that I wish to see improved."
"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"Sometimes, one might face issues with the scalability of the product. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"The product is not bad, but there may be somethings that need to be modified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"The price was fine."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
"The tool is affordable"
"It is reasonably priced."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"This product is costly."
