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…

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 solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"I prefer FireEye to solutions like CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Trend Micro which are not as user-friendly."
"The response part of EDR was most valuable. We used that to separate the endpoint from the network. We utilized the solution during the instant response. We were also utilizing advanced malware detection capabilities, but we benefited the most from its help with the response."
"The MEP suite has significantly helped us to mitigate the risk of getting malicious content in our network from various mediums."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"FireEye Endpoint Security has improved our customers' organizations because now, with these components, they have a lot of visibility on their network and endpoint activity."
 

Cons

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"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."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"One thing I think it should do is alert administration if some attack is happening in local systems."
"The local technical support could be better."
"Their support is not good and needs to be improved."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"Initially, we ran into issues running full-disk encryption and certain versions of disk defragmentation software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
Information not available
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"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."
"The tool is affordable"
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
