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.

Comprehensive endpoint visibility and multilayer security have strengthened compliance and protected removable media in critical environments
I work with the data sanitization feature, including USB. When it comes to data integrity, it is not meant for data integrity; it will modify your data. It will not look into your content, but it will look into embedded objects, such as hyperlinks, scripts, and any other embedded object, macro, and images. It will remove that potential malicious content, sanitize the hyperlink, remove the macro, sanitize the embedded objects, and remove the scripts if they are attached in your document to prevent you from zero-day attacks. MetaDefender Endpoint has an excellent malware detection feature; it has around thirty plus different anti-malware engines, so the detection ratio can go up to ninety-nine point nine percent. The vulnerability assessment feature definitely helps to address system vulnerabilities. You will have visibility of the vulnerability, and it is a continuous assessment. You will get complete visibility of your environment and of your endpoint.

Built faster threat response and improved visibility with real-time monitoring and flexible deployment
TrendAI Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit. We can quickly see where the attack is coming from. TrendAI Vision One enables us to use different products with a flexible license. For example, if a customer is using endpoint security and wants to switch to another solution, they can instantly use a different Trend Micro product, such as email. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce the time to detect and respond to different threats, as it can respond to attacks very quickly. With playbook templates, in cases of recurring attacks, responses can be made quickly using predefined playbooks. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce noise from false positives. There have been false positives before, but it was due to the customer not telling us which app they were using. Best practice configurations must be applied properly to avoid such issues. TrendAI Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"Altogether, it is going to be complete endpoint protection and visibility."
"Trend Vision One has helped reduce our time to detect and respond to threats by 30% to 40%."
"Trend Micro can integrate third-party tools, such as Fortinet, Cisco, or any other vendor's firewall, to get the logs and alerts from them. Vision One is much more capable in that way."
"Overall, we have managed to reduce our resolution time by approximately 99% due to our multiple teams working 24/7."
"The solution is stable."
"TrendAI Vision One solves these problems by providing greater detection capabilities and automated response across all of these layers."
"TrendAI Vision One has helped us reduce the time to detect and respond to threats, as with the correlation of events across various security layers, I benefit from a complete view of incidents from a single platform without the need to jump around."
"I'm satisfied with the level of coverage. The policies have been very useful and detailed."
"TrendAI Vision One has positively impacted my organization by specifically helping improve security posture and response time for threat handling, as well as improving our cyber risk score."
 

Cons

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"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."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"The negative aspect is that it only provides visibility; you require integration with multiple products to get complete control."
"When we talk about improvements in TrendAI Vision One, the first thing I consider is to bring the pricing down, considering there are many competitors in the market."
"The experience of first using Trend Vision One is really difficult due to the steep learning curve."
"One area that requires improvement is the installation process of the agents, as it is not seamless."
"Trend Micro could improve its support for non-third-party products and product integrations."
"TrendAI Vision One is not a cheap system and is very expensive when considering value for money and return on investment."
"The credits system is a little bit confusing to use. Licensing and feature management could be improved."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. It would also be better if the implementation were more straightforward."
"It would be ideal if they could improve the control of connectivity between sensors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The price was fine."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
Information not available
"Trend Micro recently switched from a license-based pricing model to a credit system, which caused some initial frustration during my renewal."
"Competitors offer comparable solutions at slightly lower prices, so Vision One has room to reduce its pricing by 15 percent, given that Trend Vision One charges approximately $10 per endpoint."
"While the pricing and licensing for Trend Vision One are generally acceptable, the need to purchase additional features separately adds complexity."
"It is definitely not cheap. I do believe you get what you pay for to some degree. It is cost-effective."
"It's relatively well-priced."
"Its price is very decent. It suits our requirements."
"Vision One's pricing is extremely competitive. They're probably the lowest-cost provider that has this feature set."
"Trend Micro solutions are very expensive compared to other solutions. Even though everything is in one console, each feature requires a separate license."
