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…

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"It is easy to use."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."
"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."
"We have not had any issues in terms of stability."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided."
"Smart Protection is a suite from Trend Micro for endpoint antivirus, called Apex One, that comes with sandbox and mail protection and allows us to protect OneDrive, SharePoint, and emails too."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable, accommodating every request with a smile and genuine care."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
 

Cons

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"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."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"I had some issues with technical support early on, there were some delays and I had difficulties raising a ticket with them."
"It's more about awareness and maintaining competitive pricing because competition is growing."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro could perhaps be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
Information not available
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
