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.

A product with an easy setup phase that helps manage attacks and vulnerabilities
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that you can manage and react to vulnerabilities and attacks on all the workstations or laptops. You can put certain workstations and isolation. With ESET PROTECT, you see only one machine that is protected, but with ESET Inspect, you see all the machines that are protected in an environment.

Ransomware threats have been contained but application visibility remains a challenge
The best features of Trend Vision One Endpoint Security are the ransomware protection and the vulnerability protection module which has helped us to secure our endpoints against various threats. Since we are using endpoint security along with the EDR, the vulnerability protection module helps to identify which threat group is active and is using which specific vulnerability and also it helps to detect if those vulnerabilities exist within our environment and shows which machine is affected. Along with that, it also helps me see if Trend Micro offers an intrusion prevention system rule against that particular vulnerability. Trend Vision One has very good threat intelligence, which has helped in protecting against malware attacks for quite some time now. We have seen Trend Vision One Endpoint Security's EDR capability help our security operations move at a faster pace compared to earlier. With all the incidents that we have seen in the recent past, the mean time to detect and respond is significantly better than before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"Since using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, our MTTR has reduced, which means the mean time to resolve any ticket has been reduced."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's most valuable feature is EDR."
"The product's most valuable features are its performance and stability."
"Rules are the most valuable feature of ESET Inspect. They are created through XML language, and they track and filter events from endpoints. If the event matches the rule, the rule is triggered. Exceptions are the second most valuable feature because it gives you the power to filter false positives in large numbers. The third most valuable feature is the Learning mode that facilitates making exceptions for known processes with a good reputation."
"The rules are the best and most useful features."
"ESET Enterprise Inspector's greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy navigation and thorough analysis of incidents."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"I find the multilayered endpoint security the most valuable feature."
"This solution is easy to install, setup and monitor."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level. Our previous solution would look at things from the user desktop level, and you had to have an agent deployed to collect that. The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"It's made it easier for us to monitor the security environment in general."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"The most valuable features are behavior analytics, machine learning, and virtual patching."
"No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
"The support is really good in the Middle East, they are even available on the weekends to address issues."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The ease of deployment is one of its most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"The product is complex to configure, and there are too many errors that are not errors, making it an area that can be considered for improvement."
"It may be difficult for a first-time customer to understand all of the functions that are available to him."
"The solution could improve the consumption of resources. The RAM and CPU usage increases during usage which can cause issues. We have three separate services and it would be beneficial if all were executed from one agent limiting the over usage of system resources."
"One area that needs improvement for the product is ransomware protection, which does not offer complete security."
"The platform's price could be better."
"It is not a stable product. We were disappointed in the stability of this product in comparison to McAffee."
"Every vendor is working on making the job of SOC analysts easier, with fewer false positives and more precise detections. ESET uses LiveGrid technology that provides feedback on the reputation of files and operations. It's hard to eliminate all of the false positives, but hopefully, we'll see some improvement with the advances in AI."
"Trend Micro's encryption is not up to the mark. We tried their encryption product, but we did not like it. Encryption was difficult to manage."
"The reports are not eye-catching from the customer's point of view, which is something that should be improved."
"We have servers on FreeBSD, and as I remember, there is no client for FreeBSD operating systems, which is not ideal for us."
"The pricing is very high."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"We had some problems with Trend Micro Apex One doing the updates and patches. Some of the other vendor's support has said that Trend Micro Apex One receives database signatures updates too late."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"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."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The platform's licensing is affordable and straightforward."
"The pricing and licensing are the big issue now, in my opinion. If the price was less than other companies, or a one-time charge for service was available, I think there would be more users of this solution."
"The platform is expensive; it could be cheaper."
"This is true in the case of licensing, we do not have the most expensive products, and we don't have the cheapest product, it's somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a little higher from the middle, but we are known for what we provide to our customers, and they are pleased."
"I feel it is a very expensive product."
"The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive."
"It is a little bit more expensive than other solutions."
"Pricing and licensing are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"The price of the solution is fine."
"The price of the solution was expensive in the first year we had it because we were purchasing it locally. This year we have a global discount for the license. There is an additional cost if you want maintenance support."
"It's an annual subscription."
"The price of Apex One is competitive and lower than the prices of the solutions we compared it to."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
