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.

Stable, good for malware detection and prevention
I use it for general endpoint protection and the usual stuff like malware detection and prevention It secures my environment.  One thing that could be easier is initiating scans. If I want to scan an extra drive, it should be more straightforward. It's a bit clunky. I have been using it for…

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

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."
"It secures my environment."
"For those who can't afford expensive cybersecurity professionals but are responsible for configuring the security of the organization, MVISION Endpoint is a good product to go with."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"I would like to recommend the solution; it's better and, pricing wise, it's worth it, especially compared to other advanced malware security solutions in the market that are very costly."
"McAfee is one of my favorites; it's very stable and reliable, and there are no bugs or glitches."
"The support from McAfee is far better than other vendors, such as Trend Micro and Symantec."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"McAfee has good support and they are very responsive."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"One thing that could be easier is initiating scans."
"McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"Sometimes when it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some software applications."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement."
"Trellix Endpoint Security Platform needs to sort out their issues with the organization and outreach to clients to improve their platform because they have been lagging behind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
Information not available
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"The product pricing is high."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
