We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and Trend Micro ServerProtect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"Performance is very good."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Technical support was perfect."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Detections could be improved."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
