Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites is known for its strong antivirus, anti-spamming, and anti-malware services. It features effective URL filtering, endpoint detection and response, and seamless integration for monitoring across both Windows and Mac devices.

Room for Improvement: FortiXDR could benefit from enhanced ease of deployment and more user-friendly interfaces. Better documentation could also aid less experienced users in maximizing its potential. Additionally, expanding its native integrations beyond Fortinet products would enhance versatility.

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.

Achieve effective email management while identifying areas for security upgrades

There are a couple of issues we have encountered while using Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites for the past four or five years. The first is the Business Email Compromise (BEC) issue. Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID. We were not able to get a satisfactory answer from them regarding the BEC issue. The ransomware protection issue for the old servers or outdated servers and recovery of the data needs improvement in Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites. The ransomware protection issue for old servers and business email compromise also needs to be upgraded because even though it's configured, we still face this BEC issue. The response time of the support also needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"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."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is its ability to block clients, providing comprehensive endpoint protection."

"FortiXDR is valuable for its integration capabilities with one hundred percent compatibility with other vendors in cloud environments like Google, Oracle, and Microsoft."

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is its ability to block clients, providing comprehensive endpoint protection."

"The product is stable enough."

"FortiXDR is valuable for its integration capabilities with one hundred percent compatibility with other vendors in cloud environments like Google, Oracle, and Microsoft."

"Our customers are satisfied with FortiXDR."

"We can get in-depth details of the emails going in and out, and we can create rules; it's easy to manage and navigate, the main thing is that it's easy to handle."

"Trend Micro Worry-Free Services Suites has an inbuilt auto scan facility. It is very good at detection and response, and it includes a web filtering option."

"Trend Micro effectively detects and blocks NAS devices and identifies potential threats."

"The solution offers a comprehensive solution that includes antivirus, malware protection, ransomware protection, web filtering, and device control features. It provides networking capabilities, making it a robust solution for comprehensive security needs."

"The load balancer feature is excellent."

"The solution's ability to operate without placing a heavy burden on our system resources is particularly commendable."

"The most important feature is behaviour detection."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of deployment."

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"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."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"Limited remote connection."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The pricing of FortiXDR should be improved."

"They could change their licensing costs to make it more affordable for smaller businesses."

"Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."

"The pricing of FortiXDR should be improved. It's a point of concern for us."

"Improvement is needed in the intuitiveness and integration measures of FortiXDR, especially in terms of compatibility."

"They could change their licensing costs to make it more affordable for smaller businesses."

"Improvement is needed in the intuitiveness and integration measures of FortiXDR, especially in terms of compatibility."

"The log management feature needs to be improved, specifically, the ability to send logs from the console via API."

"The solution’s scalability is limited."

"The EDR part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Trend Micro should improve its Worry-Free Services Suites, particularly the agent for Windows operating systems."

"Even though we configured the business email compromise option, we still face this issue sometimes where people are getting emails directly with our email ID."

"The pricing of Trend Micro is a little bit higher compared to Sophos."

"The solution's documentation is not good, and I'm struggling to change global configurations."

"The licensing aspect seems costly, and the license cost increases yearly, which is a concern for us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"Very costly product."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"This is an expensive solution compared to other vendors, such as Check Point."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is too expensive."

"The product is available at a very good price point."
