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.

Advanced threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows

The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"It is easy to use."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"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."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

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

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight, it didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree, where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database, so if one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"It is a very good solution and gives good blanket protection."

"The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention."

"In general, it is a really great product and I recommend it."

"We have confidence in the product to keep our business users secure."

"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."

"Technical support has been great. They always help us to resolve any issues."

"The solution made it possible for us to have visibility into the amount of malware and threats which were coming into our company, and it has helped to increase staff productivity."

"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."

Cons

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"There are some false positives."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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

"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."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."

"The local technical support could be better."

"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."

"One thing I could have used was a more detailed description of the HIPS signatures."

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

"The product is not bad, but there may be somethings that need to be modified."

"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."

"Trellix Endpoint Security needs some improvement in the dashboards. Artificial intelligence also requires improvement to further enhance the product."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"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."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"Very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"It is relatively cheap."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"The product pricing is high."

"The tool is affordable"

"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
