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.

Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included

The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

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

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is easy to install."

"The product has a robust reporting feature"

"The timeline monitoring specifically helps me in my day-to-day work because it definitely makes the investigation faster for us."

"We have been working with McAfee for four years and the sales and support have always been good."

"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."

"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."

"The solution provides good mobile device protection and it's great that it's on the cloud."

"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."

"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

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

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning."

"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."

"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."

"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."

"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

"Regarding how Trellix Endpoint Security Platform can be improved, I find that intuitive problem solving is not very easy with Trellix Endpoint Security Platform, leading to the need to consistently reach out to the help desk, and it would be quite helpful if things were more intuitive and first-line problem solving was made easier."

"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."

"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."

"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"This is an expensive solution."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are licensing fees."

"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."

"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."

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

"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."

"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."

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

"The product is expensive."

"Pricing is fair."
