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.

Improving threat detection is critical for enhanced protection
We use Webroot Business Endpoint Protection as a NextGen antivirus solution for our clients. It's included in the contract we have with our clients as a cost-effective option for antivirus protection Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is cost-effective for rolling it out to all of our clients,…

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

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."
"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."
"It is very light, it is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus, and it is a pretty complete solution."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Low performance requirements."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection is a good product that's easy to administer and provides endpoint protection for desktops, laptops, and servers, including anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam, DLP, and encryption."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The timeline monitoring specifically helps me in my day-to-day work because it definitely makes the investigation faster for us."
"With this product, we can easily implement encryption for all our users in the company and deploy modules as and when needed through a central interface."
"It is a great solution overall."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The performance is good."
 

Cons

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"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."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"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."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"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 would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"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."
"While I cannot recall anything specific at the moment, there are many areas of the solution that I wish to see improved."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"The solution is not really stable. Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"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."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is high."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"It is relatively cheap."
"MVISION is intended as an enterprise product and it is priced like one. This solution is within the price range of competitors at the enterprise level."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The price of this product is good."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"The product pricing is high."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
