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.

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 product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"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."

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"Speed"

"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."

"McAfee offers an integrated solution, and it covers almost all the possibilities of data loss."

"I prefer FireEye to solutions like CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, and Trend Micro which are not as user-friendly."

"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."

"In summary, this is a good product and they have most aspects covered."

"Centrally, from just one console, you can block malicious attacks across your environment."

"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."

"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"Product might have some bugs."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."

"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."

"They could also increase or improve the scalability because to my knowledge the biggest bandwidth can only support up to 10 gigs of input."

"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We even had some incidents that were not detected."

"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."

"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."

"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes: Installation may have been broken by something and installation is corrupted. It’s so hard to uninstall or repair the installation in that case."

"They charge more for enterprise support and when we raise tickets we get a good response but with the normal support, their response is not quick."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons
