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

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is easy to install."

"Trellix Endpoint Security Platform has positively impacted our organization with strong protection against malware and ransomware, greatly improving our ability to detect and block threats in real time, and features like ATP and Exploit Prevention help reduce malware and zero-day attacks."

"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."

"This solution has helped to protect our organization against security threats."

"In summary, this is a good product and they have most aspects covered."

"The stability of the solution is very reliable, with no bugs or glitches, no crashes or freezes, and great performance."

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

"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

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

"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."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"Limited remote connection."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning."

"We would like the solution to offer better security."

"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."

"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes: Installation may have been broken by something and installation is corrupted. It’s so hard to uninstall or repair the installation in that case."

"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."

"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."

"I give it a seven because in today's scenario, the portal is complicated to handle."

"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"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."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are licensing fees."

"Licensing is paid yearly."

"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."

"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."

"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."

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

"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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