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 threat prevention has strengthened incident response and customized security workflows

The biggest advantage of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform is the ATP solution, which provides advanced threat prevention. Machine learning algorithms are available in the product as part of the threat anti-malware, including predictive machine learning and behavioral analysis, which are integral to the anti-malware module of EPP. In terms of my experience with the machine learning algorithms for analysis and threat detection, we are analyzing logs provided by Trellix, but we are not able to conduct specific machine learning analysis on those logs. The automated response mechanisms in the products help with incident management because we have to create playbooks in Trellix console for automation, which we need to enable. The customizable dashboard of Trellix Endpoint Security Platform definitely contributes to the decision-making process, as we customize the dashboard according to customer requirements. When it comes to integration aspects, we are able to integrate Trellix Endpoint Security Platform with SIEM or SOAR solutions using the ePO console, which enhances threat detection capabilities. Reporting and analytics aspects have an impact on security posture assessment, as we are able to fetch reports in the ePO console customized according to customer requirements for downloading and sending via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR is its ability to detect all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it can integrate with Palo Alto Firewall."

"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

"The solution has many features, is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"The solution is very light, works well on our PCs, the dashboard is very good, and we find the pricing to be very affordable."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."

"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."

"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."

"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."

"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."

"With this product, we can easily implement encryption for all our users in the company and deploy modules as and when needed through a central interface."

"The solution offers very good endpoint security."

"Daily, we had a thousand attempts of data leakage, and we could prevent many situations."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."

"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."

"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."

"This solution is difficult to implement."

"Initially, we ran into issues running full-disk encryption and certain versions of disk defragmentation software."

"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."

"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."

"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"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."
