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.

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

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

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

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."

"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."

"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."

"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."

"My experience with McAfee is very good. They give excellent support, they are proactive to solve issues, and willing to integrate their products."

"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."

"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."

"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."

"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."

"The independent modules are very good."

"McAfee has good support and they are very responsive."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"Limited remote connection."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The initial setup requires a little bit of experience with configuration."

"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."

"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."

"A policy-editing console should be added."

"One thing I could have used was a more detailed description of the HIPS signatures."

"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."

"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."

"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."

"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."

"McAfee is not as strong as other solutions like Kaspersky, Trend Micro, or Carbon Black."

"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."

"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."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"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."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."

"The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."

"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."

"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."

"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."

"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."

"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."

"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."

"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."

"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
