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.

Protects the global station and has good stability

The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows

The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

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

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."

"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."

"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."

"The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention."

"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."

"It's easy to use and it's very powerful, and it offers nice endpoint protection."

"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."

"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."

"The stability of the solution is very reliable, with no bugs or glitches, no crashes or freezes, and great performance."

"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."

Cons

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."

"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."

"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."

"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."

"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."

"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."

"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."

"It is a bit technical. The user interface has some significant limitations, mainly when using HIPS on the server side, to protect files from being changed or deleted by hackers, users, or administrators."

"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."

"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
