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

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."

"The biggest positive impact I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a significant reduction in the number of people required to manage it."

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."

"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Low performance requirements."

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

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

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"Speed"

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

"With the increase in malware attacks, having a product like this which protects against zero-day attacks is invaluable."

"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."

"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."

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

"The support that we get from McAfee is excellent."

"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable, and we don't have any bugs being reported."

"The solution is reliable."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform pros

Cons

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

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Limited remote connection."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"The onboarding process could be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Reporting system could be improved."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

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

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

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

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."

"The product is not easy to use."

"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."

"The polices and rules take time if you don’t know the product."

"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."

"Its pricing needs to be improved."

"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."

"In new units, the initial agenda, they are changing a lot of things and there are lots of bugs we normally did not use to see."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

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

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Work on a price tier plan."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"It is relatively cheap."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pricing and cost advice

"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."

"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
