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.

Cloud-native threat detection has improved incident investigations and now reduces breach risk
We have covered most of the features over the past three years and look forward to discovering more as we work closely with the ExtraHop technical team, who are open to sharing what they have developed. Pricing is on the higher side, typically based on load, volume of traffic, and deployment scale. The advanced detection capabilities provide significant value in reducing investigation time, making the licensing and pricing acceptable for larger organizations. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360's SaaS environment is well-suited for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, effectively addressing real-life scenarios involving east-west and north-south traffic. The platform is recommended for large organizations in need of comprehensive detection capabilities. I would rate this product overall as an 8 out of 10.

Unified threat detection has improved investigations and now speeds up incident response
While Trellix XDR is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments. Some additional advanced features also have a learning curve and may require extra training for security teams to fully utilize them. Moreover, reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible, allowing users to create highly customized views and reports more easily. There are also areas that could optimize detection surveys. Addressing these areas would further enhance the overall experience and operational effectiveness. One additional improvement would be deeper integration with a wider range of third-party security tools and cloud platforms. While Trellix XDR integrates with many solutions, simplifying the integration management would help organizations with complex security ecosystems. I would like to see more out-of-the-box reports and executive-level dashboards that make it easier to communicate security metrics to leadership. Finally, continuous enhancement to automation and AI-driven threat prioritization would further reduce analysts' workflow and improve response effectiveness. Overall, these are areas that need refinement rather than being major concerns, as the platform still delivers strong security and operational value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."
"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."
"It is scalable."
"It stands out for its intuitive and efficient user interface, robust detection capabilities with minimal false positives, and the ability to handle encrypted traffic, making it a valuable asset for network security and management."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has positively impacted my organization by helping us detect abnormal activity on our network that we could not detect through our SIEM or XDR platform."
"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments."
"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively because time was definitely saved because of the automated response, and the positive impact was definitely there in terms of both time saved and people being cut down from the team to have a more efficient and cost-saving team."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"Trellix XDR has positively impacted my organization in a couple of major ways: The efficiency of the SOC team has increased, and incident investigation speed has improved significantly."
"Since implementing Trellix XDR, I have noticed positive impacts on my organization."
"Since implementing Trellix XDR, we have seen improvement in our threat detection and incident response capability."
"Trellix's technical support is helpful."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively as it's a security solution that protects us from threats."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"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."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"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."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"There needs to be more support."
"One challenge with ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is its pricing, which tends to be comparatively high in the marketplace."
"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."
"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."
"Their professional service can be improved."
"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."
"We have left Trellix XDR. The pricing was the main factor because the features were not there and they were charging more from us."
"The main area regarding Trellix XDR improvement is that setup and tuning can be complex because it requires a skilled analyst based on utilization."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments."
"I believe Trellix XDR could improve better visualization of attack paths and threat relationships."
"Trellix XDR should get involved in AI security itself."
"Price is the main area for improvement in the product."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"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."
"When compared to other solutions, it aligns with the market average, indicating a competitive pricing level."
