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 server defenses have strengthened threat detection and protected critical infrastructure

From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. The rules are very rigid. The way protection works for Trend Micro ServerProtect is that you have to specifically apply specific rules to achieve particular actions or use cases. We have had instances where a malware is dropped and that malware executes, it is detected, but because the malware has been altered a little bit, either in naming or slight behavior changes, the system is not able to stop it. This is unless you harden the rule to say block anything that appears out of place. My thinking as a security expert is that malware will typically behave outside of the normal operation of the organization. Instead of saying malware behavior based on malware behavior, I would say use analytics to identify anything that is outside the normal behavior of files and systems in the course of business operation, then flag it so it can go for further evaluation to identify if it is a malicious file execution or otherwise. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal. They need to work on that area. There is a lot of competition today. When Trend Micro ServerProtect initially came out, they were premium, so there was not a lot of competition. Competition is dropping their price. Trend Micro ServerProtect should also come down on the pricing to meet competition. Though it is a great solution and an integrated solution, I think they should also meet the market competition. CrowdStrike is there, Palo Alto is there. There are many other competitors, but they need to also look at what is happening. They need to work on it. I would not say that they are overly priced, but I think they can be more competitive, especially with their new credit allocation process.

More Trend Micro ServerProtect [EOL] pros

Cons

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"Product might have some bugs."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"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."

"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."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"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."

"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."

"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."

"What can be improved is that the cost is very high."

"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."

"From my perspective, predictive analysis is an area for improvement. Today, there are some instances where legitimate operations occur because of the static rule definition, the agent would flag a normal activity as malicious and then sometimes flag malicious activities as normal."

"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"

"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."

"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."

More Trend Micro ServerProtect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
