Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

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.

Centralized visibility has improved risk-based vulnerability management but onboarding still needs simplification
From my perspective, the features of Uptycs that stand out more for my projects and organization are the vulnerability management, endpoint visibility, and asset inventory management features. I can share two specific outcomes that show this positive impact using Uptycs. First, it reduces significant time and effort from the asset inventory point of view because previously I needed to scan all of the assets which were in scope, but now I only scan those assets that are currently active and in scope, and the CMDB and asset inventory receive proper updates of those assets. Secondly, in vulnerability prioritization, I receive all the prioritized vulnerabilities so I can prioritize and mitigate or remediate them as soon as possible, which reduces the overall time of remediation as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"My total rating for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a ten out of ten."

Cons

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"Limited remote connection."
"McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black."
"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 should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"They could improve it by providing better manageability for administrators. I need to spend too much time on this right now."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The only challenge we found is the integration with its product modules."
"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."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
"Regarding improvements for Uptycs, I suggest simplified onboarding for complex cloud environments because the current onboarding method is complex and requires checks with the support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price was fine."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"The tool is affordable"
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
