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.

Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included

The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

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

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

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

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"It is easy to use."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is easy to install."

"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."

"MVISION offers decent protection."

"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."

"The technical support services are good."

"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."

"The installation is pretty straightforward."

"The product has a robust reporting feature"

"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."

Cons

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

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."

"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."

"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."

"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."

"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."

"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."

"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."

"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."

"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

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

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

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

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

"This is an expensive solution."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are licensing fees."

"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."

"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."

"I am happy with the pricing."

"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."

"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."

"No comment."

"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."

"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
