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.

Exceptional malware protection with regular updates and behavior-based detection
There are no built-in backups or integrated backup options, which could be an opportunity. The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it. Other customers have mentioned issues with false positives. It lacks enterprise-level management and more enterprise functionality. CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are much more enterprise-grade solutions. Malwarebytes has limited integration with cybersecurity tools and lacks enterprise integrations because it is not an enterprise product.

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

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The solution is very good at scanning; it's a good product, it does the job, it offers good protection, and I haven't come across any issues so far which I need to escalate."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"The independent modules are very good."
"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."
"I think McAfee is the best solution; anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"McAfee Endpoint Security does not hang the machines."
"The product is easy to use, it's a stable solution with good performance, and the scalability is good."
"The features of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform have greatly improved my day-to-day work; I no longer lose sleep over potential data breaches or ransomware attacks as the solution gives me peace of mind, allowing my users to work from various locations with less concern about security."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
 

Cons

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"The technical support could be improved; we find we have to make several requests before an issue is looked into."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"On the older ePO versions, there were some issues at the install, but with the latest version, the installation is smooth."
"Trellix Endpoint Security Platform needs to sort out their issues with the organization and outreach to clients to improve their platform because they have been lagging behind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"It is expensive."
"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
