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

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."

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

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

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

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure has some good policy certificates."

"The real-time monitoring feature of Sangfor Endpoint Secure is truly real-time, with no delay compared to other solutions."

"The most valuable feature I have found in the system is its comprehensive end-to-end protection."

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

"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."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure pros

"The support from McAfee is far better than other vendors, such as Trend Micro and Symantec."

"We receive good protection with this solution."

"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."

"I think that in the enterprise space, this is by far the best solution and not because the actual antivirus."

"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is its extensive customization capability, which allows me to create and deploy policies autonomously, suiting my individual needs."

"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."

"McAfee Endpoint Security 10.5 has improved our security and made our customers more effective."

"The product can be installed in almost any environment"

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"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."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

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

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

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure should include healing capabilities."

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

"It is complicated to establish a tunnel due to technical issues in the VPN system."

"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."

"Currently, the tool lacks reporting functionalities."

More Sangfor Endpoint Secure cons

"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."

"We had a very large problem that has, unfortunately, not been solved. Simply put, when we start the computer the program will not start."

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

"Because sometimes it makes machines really slow."

"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."

"This solution is difficult to implement."

"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."

"The only challenge we found is the integration with its product modules."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"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."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

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

"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."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Sangfor Endpoint Secure is not a cheap solution."

"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."

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

"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."

"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."

"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."

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

"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."

"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
