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 solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"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."

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"My advice about this product is that it is a very good solution and offers a stable and trusted software that runs smoothly and is easy to deploy."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The MEP suite has significantly helped us to mitigate the risk of getting malicious content in our network from various mediums."

"The remote installation capabilities are very helpful for us."

"I have not received any complaints about the performance."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."

"The solution is stable."

"I found the initial setup to be easy."

"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 solution offers very good endpoint security."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"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."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

"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."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

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

"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."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"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."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The deployment from the ePolicy Orchestator console to either re-imaged or rebuilt laptops was sporadic and not reliable enough to be standalone."

"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."

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

"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."

"Patch management is unavailable"

"We’re facing remote installation issues sometimes:"

"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

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

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"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."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It is relatively cheap."

"The pricing is high."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."

"It is based on an annual subscription."

"We pay for the license on an annual basis."

"Pricing is fair."

"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."

"Annual license fee is good"

"I am happy with the pricing."
