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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"It is awesome working with Trellix Endpoint Security Platform every time and every day; it makes work seamless, faster, and saves time."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"It is a great solution overall."
"The support that we get from McAfee is excellent."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform, which is a very big improvement because all McAfee products talk to each other and other vendors' products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
 

Cons

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"I don't recommend McAfee for endpoint users."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"I give it a seven because in today's scenario, the portal is complicated to handle."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"The local technical support could be better."
