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.

Delivers efficiency and agility with USB control limitations
One area where we lag is that, since we use everything from Heimdal, including XDR and other features, we also use the privilege manager feature called Elevation. What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off. I want to whitelist specific devices in the network, which I currently cannot do.

Platform Engineer Ii at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Ransomware threats have been contained but application visibility remains a challenge
The best features of Trend Vision One Endpoint Security are the ransomware protection and the vulnerability protection module which has helped us to secure our endpoints against various threats. Since we are using endpoint security along with the EDR, the vulnerability protection module helps to identify which threat group is active and is using which specific vulnerability and also it helps to detect if those vulnerabilities exist within our environment and shows which machine is affected. Along with that, it also helps me see if Trend Micro offers an intrusion prevention system rule against that particular vulnerability. Trend Vision One has very good threat intelligence, which has helped in protecting against malware attacks for quite some time now. We have seen Trend Vision One Endpoint Security's EDR capability help our security operations move at a faster pace compared to earlier. With all the incidents that we have seen in the recent past, the mean time to detect and respond is significantly better than before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The correlation with the firewall and the creation of policies by areas have facilitated security management in my company by allowing me to create more fine-tuned policies that take into account multiple aspects of the operation, multiple effects, multiple sources, and multiple destinations."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"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."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"As compared to multiple solutions I have used in the past, Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
"We've been able to integrate the solution with other security products."
"It's reduced administrative overhead overall thanks to its centralized dashboard and single network administrator."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus and malware application control."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
"Trend Micro has an edge over other solutions in technical support because they have local support."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
 

Cons

"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."
"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"Recently, we had a malware attack and considered looking at other cloud solutions because of this breach."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"The solution could use signatureless detection."
"Trend Vision One Endpoint Security can be improved in application control."
"Tech support needs improvement. We raised certain cases regarding a lag in terms of a solution, and the response time was slow."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"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."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
Information not available
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"If I remember correctly, the cost is approximately four and a half thousand per year."
"Licensing costs depend completely on the number of users or licenses. They have a specific pricing structure. For example, if you are looking for 100 users to be on the product, in the Indian market (we're based in India), the cost is nearly $2,500 to $3,000 maximum for one three-year license."
"When compared to Symantec, Kaspersky, and others the price is higher, they are more expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, Apex One is an eight."
"It is okay. Compared to Sophos, it is a little bit expensive, but it is a good product and it is better than Sophos, for instance. It is equivalent to Trellix. Its cost depends on the country. I am in Turkey, and Trend Micro is not so affordable in Turkey. SMB companies are looking for cheaper products. In Turkey, enterprise customers tend to use Trend Micro, and if they have more money, then they use next-generation antivirus or EPP products such as SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Microsoft E5 package."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"Trend Micro Apex One is priced well."
