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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively

Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."

"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."

"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."

"With the rise of malware and, recently, ransomware cases, using VSE assures you a positive Return-on-Investment."

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."

"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."

"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."

"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."

"The product is easy to use, it's a stable solution with good performance, and the scalability is good."

"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection has helped us to enforce that mandate, protecting both staff and patient information data."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."

"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."

"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."

"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."

"One of the drawbacks to the solution is that it is not 100% secure."

"We have faced certain issues recovering the data from systems which could not be fully encrypted by McAfee and then the decryption was a nightmare, it took a lot of time."

"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."

"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."

"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."

"The customer support is the worst part of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform. They do not support, they do not reply on time, and they take a lot of time when they have a ticket open."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."

"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."

"We pay for the license on an annual basis."

"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."

"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."

"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."

"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
