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 major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"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."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"Leaving aside the fact that I sell this solution, when it comes to endpoint security solutions the world over, McAfee is one of the best, if not the best."
"We have confidence in the product to keep our business users secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Trellix Endpoint Security Platform has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to deploy group security policies for multiple endpoints in a matter of a couple of minutes."
"The best features Trellix Endpoint Security Platform offers are the advanced capabilities of their management platform and the effectiveness of the various configuration settings that can be applied, which for specific customers is really useful to have."
 

Cons

"The onboarding process could be better."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Product might have some bugs."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"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."
"Continued available training is important for people coming in to use it."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"We have reports by users of machines being slow when the on-demand scan starts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
Information not available
"We pay 650 Rand for a license. It is a perpetual license which we normally run for two years."
"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 pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"The tool is affordable"
"This product is costly."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
