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…

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows

The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"The tool is easy to use."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It secures my environment."

"It is a very good solution and gives good blanket protection."

"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."

"The stability has been great."

"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."

"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."

"It is a really strong solution for endpoint security."

"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."

"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"One thing that could be easier is initiating scans."

"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."

"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."

"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."

"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."

"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."

"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."

"This particular module, when we upgraded to the latest version, took up all the resources on the computer, making it unusable."

"A policy-editing console should be added."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."

"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."

"The product pricing is high."

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."

"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
