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.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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 integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"The correlation with the firewall and the creation of policies by areas have facilitated security management in my company by allowing me to create more fine-tuned policies that take into account multiple aspects of the operation, multiple effects, multiple sources, and multiple destinations."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"CylancePROTECT is going to tell you if there are any issues and you are going to be able to see everything from one single dashboard."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"It works well and covers a good number of the bases you need covered for general cybersecurity and vulnerability management."
"We have been trained to learn how to use the product and now we have a very good experience with it."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"McAfee has good support and they are very responsive."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"The centralized management of the solution is valuable since we are a diverse organization."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is used for endpoint protection and protects the files and network against viruses and malware."
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
"The solution made it possible for us to have visibility into the amount of malware and threats which were coming into our company, and it has helped to increase staff productivity."
"The timeline monitoring specifically helps me in my day-to-day work because it definitely makes the investigation faster for us."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
 

Cons

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"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's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"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."
"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"For advanced security, I wouldn't."
"If they can improve the technical support SLA, that aspect of the product will be much appreciated."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The user interface could be improved, it's very outdated."
"The initial setup was quite complicated, it took us a month or two with the reseller doing a good job assisting us with the initial configuration."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes: Installation may have been broken by something and installation is corrupted. It’s so hard to uninstall or repair the installation in that case."
"The quality of the dashboard could be improved, and the central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well."
"We have disabled it due to the fact that a lot of stuff was being blocked, it was blocking a lot of internal stuff, which meant it needed some fine-tuning."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The solution currently lacks mobile device management."
"We had a very large problem that has, unfortunately, not been solved. Simply put, when we start the computer the program will not start."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Very costly product."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
