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.

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

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"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 initial setup isn't too bad."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"In general, it is a really great product and I recommend it."

"We use McAfee MVISION Endpoint to protect our environment."

"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."

"Leaving aside the fact that I sell this solution, when it comes to endpoint security solutions the world over, McAfee is one of the best, if not the best."

"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."

"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable."

"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."

"We have confidence in the product to keep our business users secure."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"Product might have some bugs."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"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."

"This is a very costly product."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"The onboarding process could be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."

"There is room to improve with scalability."

"It would be nice to have the ability to change Safeboot passwords from within the OS as there is a delay in the boot process and password changes can take time."

"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

"While I cannot recall anything specific at the moment, there are many areas of the solution that I wish to see improved."

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

"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We even had some incidents that were not detected."

"The quality of the dashboard could be improved, and the central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"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."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"It is relatively cheap."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."

"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."

"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
