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.

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

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

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"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."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."
"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"I would definitely recommend McAfee MVISION Endpoint because it is cloud-based app management and requires little maintenance."
"From the McAfee side, I really like the ePolicy Orchestrator software that allows us to manage all of our endpoints."
"Daily, we had a thousand attempts of data leakage, and we could prevent many situations."
"We have been working with McAfee for four years and the sales and support have always been good."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"You can integrate this endpoint protection with a specific business process that you may want to link to the process of the antivirus."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"The compatibility with a variety of laptops is our biggest advantage."
 

Cons

"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"Initially, we ran into issues running full-disk encryption and certain versions of disk defragmentation software."
"It would be nice to have the ability to change Safeboot passwords from within the OS as there is a delay in the boot process and password changes can take time."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The product does not seem to be cloud-native and there are issues with automating it. Automation is not intuitive."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"I'd like to see the searches enhanced because when I hand over the product to someone without experience, it should be user-friendly to them as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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 has a yearly renewal."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
Information not available

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
