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.

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection
There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

Achieve effective email management while identifying areas for security upgrades
There are a couple of issues we have encountered while using Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites for the past four or five years. The first is the Business Email Compromise (BEC) issue. Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID. We were not able to get a satisfactory answer from them regarding the BEC issue. The ransomware protection issue for the old servers or outdated servers and recovery of the data needs improvement in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites. The ransomware protection issue for old servers and business email compromise also needs to be upgraded because even though it's configured, we still face this BEC issue. The response time of the support also needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The most valuable feature is that it stops malware, which is important."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The dashboard actually is good and it is simple."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"Trend Micro effectively detects and blocks NAS devices and identifies potential threats."
"The most important feature is behaviour detection."
"The multi-tenancy feature is beneficial for managing different customers, allowing for efficient handling across various tenants."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility. It is very good at detection and response, and it includes a web filtering option."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, malware detection, and detecting unsafe web access."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites that I found are the antivirus, anti-spamming, anti-malware services that customers are looking for and using, and they are satisfied with that."
 

Cons

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"The log management feature needs to be improved, specifically, the ability to send logs from the console via API."
"The solution's documentation is not good, and I'm struggling to change global configurations."
"Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID."
"Trend Micro Worry-Free Sevices Suits' pricing remains a concern for our non-profit organization. Despite receiving some discounts, we find the pricing on the higher side."
"The EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing of Trend Micro is a little bit higher compared to Sophos."
"Network vulnerability scanning could be improved."
"The solution’s scalability is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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 don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I am using the Community edition."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"It is expensive."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is available at a very good price point."
