Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Delivers efficiency and agility with USB control limitations
One area where we lag is that, since we use everything from Heimdal, including XDR and other features, we also use the privilege manager feature called Elevation. What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off. I want to whitelist specific devices in the network, which I currently cannot do.

Head of security of digital systems, electronic databases and networks at Ukreximbank
Centralized console has improved visibility while setup remains quick on diverse environments
I don't know why I find it valuable; my colleague administrated it, but I was the chief of a team of six people, and one of them administered this product, which worked well for defending our servers. I don't know what the best features of Trend Vision One Endpoint Security are; it performs well compared to other products, and I am curious about it, but I cannot think of specific features. Perhaps my colleagues could provide that information, but I do not have that knowledge. The centralized console helps my team greatly; it is very convenient as everything is all in one console, not only EDR but many other products, such as email security and XDR features. Trend Vision One Endpoint Security positively impacts our organization as it is very simple to install on Windows and Linux servers; it is not very difficult to install.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"As compared to multiple solutions I have used in the past, Heimdal is a very agile and lightweight solution."
"My advice to others is if they want to protect their end-users, this is a great solution when compared to similar products."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"Apex One is flexible and offers a lot of visibility on the agent."
"We tested it out first using our test environment and it worked great during installation, client update, monitoring and removal process."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Vision One Endpoint Security is the virtual patching it provides."
"As a current user of Trend Micro, I would recommend it, it does the job, it works fine and usually stops different virus attempts."
"The most valuable features are web application features and real-time scans."
"The most valuable features are behavior analytics, machine learning, and virtual patching."
 

Cons

"The price could be a little lower."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"What we lack is granular USB control. We have an issue where we can only switch USB on or off."
"This solution should be more secure, in my opinion. The security features need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the behavior filtering and control of Trend Micro."
"We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."
"From what I can tell, the technical support is non-existent."
"Personally, I don't like this software, because I can install and use other solutions that won't affect the performance of my laptop, though Trend Micro Apex One has many uses."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"​It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it.​"
"It is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I am using the Community edition."
"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."
"Very costly product."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
Information not available
"We have the smallest package of Trend Micro Apex One. The full package is expensive, and it was more expensive than we thought."
"It is okay. Compared to Sophos, it is a little bit expensive, but it is a good product and it is better than Sophos, for instance. It is equivalent to Trellix. Its cost depends on the country. I am in Turkey, and Trend Micro is not so affordable in Turkey. SMB companies are looking for cheaper products. In Turkey, enterprise customers tend to use Trend Micro, and if they have more money, then they use next-generation antivirus or EPP products such as SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Microsoft E5 package."
"There are licenses for Apex One's individual security features, so it depends on what the customer needs. But in general, Trend Micro is cheap, and many customers require it."
"The license is expensive but it is a complete solution."
"The pricing was previously considered affordable, however, currently, it is on the rise due to a new licensing segregation policy."
"If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations."
"The price of the solution is fine."
"Trend Micro Apex One's pricing is good."
