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.

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 one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable, accommodating every request with a smile and genuine care."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"The solution is easy to use and it's reasonably priced."

"What I find most valuable in Trend Micro ServerProtect is virtualization."

"Technical support was perfect."

"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."

"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."

"Technical support is top-notch; even in cases where we require additional capabilities, we pass that as a recommendation and they have been able to work with us."

More Trend Micro ServerProtect [EOL] pros

Cons

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

"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."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."

"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."

"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."

"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, for example, it needs more integration."

"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"

"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up."

"They need to improve in this area by providing more documentation and custom scripts for bulk enterprise deployments."

"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."

More Trend Micro ServerProtect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"This is an expensive solution."

"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 price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The price was fine."

Information not available

"The product is available at a reasonable price"

"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."

"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."
