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

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"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."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"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 exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful, and the logon tracker feature is also very useful."
"There are many other endpoint security solutions that are available today, but McAfee Suite has several distinct advantages when you make a procurement decision."
"We have been working with McAfee for four years and the sales and support have always been good."
"The performance is good."
"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."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The product is easy to use."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
 

Cons

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"I think Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could be improved by having tiered pricing by device, especially since we have not covered mobile devices because the cost is very high."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"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 should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The price could be a little lower."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"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."
"There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."
"A quicker turnaround with patches and updates would be good."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The price was fine."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"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."
Information not available
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
