Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Head of security of digital systems, electronic databases and networks at Ukreximbank
Centralized console has improved visibility while setup remains quick on diverse environments
I don't know why I find it valuable; my colleague administrated it, but I was the chief of a team of six people, and one of them administered this product, which worked well for defending our servers. I don't know what the best features of Trend Vision One Endpoint Security are; it performs well compared to other products, and I am curious about it, but I cannot think of specific features. Perhaps my colleagues could provide that information, but I do not have that knowledge. The centralized console helps my team greatly; it is very convenient as everything is all in one console, not only EDR but many other products, such as email security and XDR features. Trend Vision One Endpoint Security positively impacts our organization as it is very simple to install on Windows and Linux servers; it is not very difficult to install.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"As compared to multiple solutions I have used in the past, Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level. Our previous solution would look at things from the user desktop level, and you had to have an agent deployed to collect that. The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"Trend Micro Apex One is good for endpoint protection."
"The solution is very stable; it doesn't crash or freeze, there aren't bugs or glitches, and we find it to be very reliable at all times."
"This product is stable and scalable; it's on the cloud so it's very easy to use."
"Apex One is the best solution for endpoint security due to its many wonderful features, and fast data protection."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"We believe in the solution and we see the value in it."
"With Apex One, it gives one single solution, with just one agent and most of your problems are resolved."
 

Cons

"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"When compared with other solutions, the price could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"Trend Micro's encryption is not up to the mark. We tried their encryption product, but we did not like it. Encryption was difficult to manage."
"For primary use cases, we required DLP solutions with application control and web control, which is not provided by Trend Vision One Endpoint Security."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"OfficeScan offers basic anti-virus security, but if you're looking for more advanced security features, you really need to look at more sophisticated and modern services."
"The DLP model needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
Information not available
"The price is very good compared to other products."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"The SaaS version is competitively priced and amazingly easy to set up."
"Compared to other products on the market, I think that the pricing is reasonable."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"We have a yearly subscription. Our subscription includes all solutions of Apex One, such as endpoint protection, DLP, and ransomware protection. We are paying around $30 for each."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
