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.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

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

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."
"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"This product really is the best solution for this security issue."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
"The remote installation capabilities are very helpful for us."
"The centralized management of the solution is valuable since we are a diverse organization."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is very stable."
"I think McAfee is the best solution; anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"It needs much better control on zero-day viruses and easier submission of threats to McAfee."
"The client-side interface is out of date, and has not been updated over the last few years."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The main reason that we moved from McAfee to Cylance is that McAfee is still a signature-based product."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I am using the Community edition."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
Information not available
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
