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.

Cloud Engineer at REDtone Digital Services

Robust security with features like antivirus protection and centralized management, but it may have limitations in supporting migrations from public clouds

While it excels in migrating VMs from on-premises and local infrastructure, it does not provide support for public cloud migrations. Attempting to migrate from public clouds like AWS encountered challenges, and Sangfor's support team clarified that they don't offer assistance for migrations from public cloud environments. It would be much more convenient if the migration tool could be installed directly on the customer's VMs, enabling a smoother migration process to the new infrastructure, with potential restrictions addressed accordingly.

Cross-site threat hunting has improved visibility and supports proactive incident response

I believe this is a product in evolution. I do not think it is a final tool to conduct forensics or information forensics of the incidents or information incidents that could arise in our network infrastructure. Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is interesting and is a very good entry point that has been evolving through the last years. In the next two months, I have a new contract, and we are pointing out to have an XDR solution with NDR and EDR together. I do not have enough time to do it because I am the manager. However, my coworkers do not understand it yet. I have a contract with a third-party company that is making reports around that, but also they do not have enough experience or enough utility of this. It would be interesting if I have a notification system from EDR. For example, if I am the manager, it would be interesting to have a warning, alarm, or something around that which could call me to get into the system and the dashboard to see what is happening. For example, if it is a high-level threat. However, most of them are just advisory or warnings. I do not enter the tool frequently. I guess I access it once every three months.

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 very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."

"It is an easy-to-use tool."

"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It has a quick response time, threat intelligence, cybersecurity features, quick report generation, behavior analysis, dynamic detection, and quarantine features."

"The tool's AI feature is helpful in endpoint security."

"I like the tool's honeypot feature. Some features include having a honeypot to detect attacks in a certain area. Additionally, there is RDP protection, which means that when we remote into our server or any endpoint, we must enter a password as a second layer of security. It can also integrate with next-generation firewalls."

"What stands out to me is the dual-end user interface they provide."

"We use the product for network protection from any malicious threat."

"The user-friendliness of Sangfor Endpoint Secure is particularly impressive. Even with basic technical knowledge, users can easily navigate the system, make changes, and implement updates."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure has some good policy certificates."

"The tool's most valuable features are control access, endpoint security, and load balancing of ISPs."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure pros

"My advice for others considering Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is to use it, or any other Trellix products, as I believe they are excellent."

"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is valuable because we have a Wide Area Network with many sites, and the EDR is cross-site since it is installed and managed from the cloud."

"The biggest strength of the solution is that it's an integrated product that includes EDR and antivirus."

"The investigation and rule detection feature of the solution has proven most useful for our company"

"This is a stable product."

"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has positively impacted our organization by improving overall efficiency, overall detection and response capabilities, and the capability to improve threat detections as well as the overall efficiency, time utilized, resource management, and analytic use cases review, significantly enhancing the business functionality."

"If there is any malicious behavior in the workstation or server, the tool stops or isolates it automatically and generates alerts."

"The most useful features are behavior monitoring, DLP, and access control. The automation has gotten much better in the last two years than when it was McAfee. It works better now and integrates more smoothly."

More Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) pros

Cons

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"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."

"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."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure should include healing capabilities."

"There are a few areas for improvement. We have encountered licensing issues on occasion, and sometimes updates don't apply properly."

"I face issues while migrating from Kaspersky to Sangfor Endpoint Secure."

"When an issue occurs, the response time for first-level support and the time taken for meetings could be improved."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure performs poorly."

"I believe Sangfor Endpoint Secure could improve in terms of its user interface and management capabilities."

"Currently, the tool lacks reporting functionalities."

"Sometimes, the VPN is not secure and doesn't work properly in Sangfor Endpoint Secure."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure cons

"This is the worst technical support. Without OEM support, you can't handle this product."

"The searching capabilities for the IOCs can be further improved"

"From an operational standpoint, the first area of improvement would be agent resource optimization, especially for high-load servers, because Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) captures an incredible depth of telemetry and real-time forensics."

"I'd like the tool to become more like an XDR, with one management system and endpoint activation."

"Initially, I was using it on servers, but it consumes a lot of resources on servers."

"The alert feature of McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response needs improvement because for you to get the alerts, you have to log on to the portal. What my company needs is a tool that sends you alerts. For example, if it detects a threat on your machine, it should send you an alert. My company gets the alerts instead from the antivirus software rather than the EDR. If you want to see the alerts on McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, you have to connect to the system manually. Another area for improvement in the tool is the reporting. My company needs weekly and monthly reports about the alerts, but you can't extract reports from McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response, so a decision was made to move to another EDR solution, particularly Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, next month. My company tested Microsoft Defender for Endpoint via a POC for one to three months. The resource usage of McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is also an area for improvement because it consumes a lot of memory. For example, during the on-demand scan, you can't work because of the high CPU usage. You need to schedule the scans. McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response has a lot of modules, but my company doesn't use all modules."

"I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements."

"Trellix needs to focus on gaining traction with partners and building trust among users."

More Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"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's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."

"We were using Hyper-V. So, we switched to Sangfor because of the pricing."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure's pricing is cheap. I rate it seven out of ten."

"Price-wise, Sangfor Endpoint Secure can be considered a competitively priced product in the market as it offers quite low prices compared to other solutions."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure is not a cheap solution."

"Its "pay as you grow" model offers cost-effectiveness compared to major cloud providers."

"The solution is cheap. It is cheaper than other products by 15-20 percent."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is always high."

"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is not that expensive, but it's not something that a startup could buy. Pricing for it is for midsized businesses. There's an additional payment if you want data retention for more than thirty days. They gave us data retention for thirty days. Then if you want longer data retention, they have the paid option for a three-month data retention period and for a one-year data retention period."

"The cost is okay, compared to other products."

"The licensing costs attached to the solution are very easy to manage. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs."

"The price is reasonable."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."
