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.

Unified threat detection has improved investigations and now speeds up incident response
While Trellix XDR is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments. Some additional advanced features also have a learning curve and may require extra training for security teams to fully utilize them. Moreover, reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible, allowing users to create highly customized views and reports more easily. There are also areas that could optimize detection surveys. Addressing these areas would further enhance the overall experience and operational effectiveness. One additional improvement would be deeper integration with a wider range of third-party security tools and cloud platforms. While Trellix XDR integrates with many solutions, simplifying the integration management would help organizations with complex security ecosystems. I would like to see more out-of-the-box reports and executive-level dashboards that make it easier to communicate security metrics to leadership. Finally, continuous enhancement to automation and AI-driven threat prioritization would further reduce analysts' workflow and improve response effectiveness. Overall, these are areas that need refinement rather than being major concerns, as the platform still delivers strong security and operational value.

Centralized visibility has improved risk-based vulnerability management but onboarding still needs simplification
From my perspective, the features of Uptycs that stand out more for my projects and organization are the vulnerability management, endpoint visibility, and asset inventory management features. I can share two specific outcomes that show this positive impact using Uptycs. First, it reduces significant time and effort from the asset inventory point of view because previously I needed to scan all of the assets which were in scope, but now I only scan those assets that are currently active and in scope, and the CMDB and asset inventory receive proper updates of those assets. Secondly, in vulnerability prioritization, I receive all the prioritized vulnerabilities so I can prioritize and mitigate or remediate them as soon as possible, which reduces the overall time of remediation as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively as it's a security solution that protects us from threats."
"The AI-assisted troubleshooting and threat hunting capabilities, along with the machine learning functionality, are the biggest advantages of Trellix XDR that stand out for me."
"Trellix XDR has positively impacted my organization in a couple of major ways: The efficiency of the SOC team has increased, and incident investigation speed has improved significantly."
"Trellix XDR has impacted my organization positively because time was definitely saved because of the automated response, and the positive impact was definitely there in terms of both time saved and people being cut down from the team to have a more efficient and cost-saving team."

Cons

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"The CPU utilization is very high with Trellix XDR; we are getting multiple types of CPU utilization from the EPP solution, with the EPP agent reaching as high as 80 percent CPU utilization, which creates big challenges for us."
"Customer support is average, depending on who the call gets to, escalation, and how quickly they respond."
"The main area regarding Trellix XDR improvement is that setup and tuning can be complex because it requires a skilled analyst based on utilization."
"I believe Trellix XDR could improve better visualization of attack paths and threat relationships."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"Trellix XDR should get involved in AI security itself."
"The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for organizations with diverse environments."
"Regarding improvements for Uptycs, I suggest simplified onboarding for complex cloud environments because the current onboarding method is complex and requires checks with the support team."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"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."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"This is an expensive solution."
