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.

Strong endpoint protection has simplified compliance and reduced effort for large user environments
One of the best features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is its endpoint security, and I have been using it for the last four and a half to five years, so I can say this is one of the best EDR endpoint security solutions I have ever seen. The features that make Trellix Endpoint Security Platform stand out for me are ease of use and analytics, which I really appreciate the most. Trellix Endpoint Security Platform positively impacts my organization, ensuring we are compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, and all other compliance requirements, so there are no issues with that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"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."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"It is easy to install."
"There are many other endpoint security solutions that are available today, but McAfee Suite has several distinct advantages when you make a procurement decision."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect."
"We use McAfee MVISION Endpoint to protect our environment."
"The performance is good."
"The technical support services are good."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"I would like the product deployment to be made simpler."
"It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"Initially, we ran into issues running full-disk encryption and certain versions of disk defragmentation software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"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 bit on the expensive side."
"Very costly product."
"There are licensing fees."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
