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.

A scalable SaaS based platform that helps with cyber threat intelligence and automated hunting

I would rate Cisco SecureX a ten out of ten. I find the product to be a fantastic platform. If you are eligible, start using it straight away. The best way to evaluate it is to start using it and see where it fits within your organization. I think it helps our customers really deliver their SecOps goals, and I see it as a core foundation of CAE's own security strategy going forward. Our partnership with Cisco is one that was built on trust over a long period of time. This has enabled us to work together to be able to provide the solutions that our customers need to drive their organizations forward. The value we add as a reseller is being able to work closer with our customers, understand them, and get intimate with their organizations. That enables us to offer them the right solutions that will help them achieve their goals.

Built faster threat response and improved visibility with real-time monitoring and flexible deployment

TrendAI Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit. We can quickly see where the attack is coming from. TrendAI Vision One enables us to use different products with a flexible license. For example, if a customer is using endpoint security and wants to switch to another solution, they can instantly use a different Trend Micro product, such as email. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce the time to detect and respond to different threats, as it can respond to attacks very quickly. With playbook templates, in cases of recurring attacks, responses can be made quickly using predefined playbooks. TrendAI Vision One has helped to reduce noise from false positives. There have been false positives before, but it was due to the customer not telling us which app they were using. Best practice configurations must be applied properly to avoid such issues. TrendAI Vision One helps customers consolidate the use of security vendors and reduce silos by offering one platform for all product management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

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

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

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

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

"The initial setup isn't too bad."

"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most beneficial feature of Cisco SecureX for cybersecurity efforts is its integration with other Cisco solutions and the environment. This sets it apart, as its APIs and overall integration capabilities are very strong. Additionally, its detection capabilities are commendable."

"The forensics are amazing because when you have enrichment, and the solutions talk with each other, when you need it, you have the ability to know everything in the organization: when, why, whatever."

"The ability to create firewalls online has been most valuable including the ability to create rules."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to manage all the applications and visibility. For example, if there is malware, spam, or another component that wants to attack the company in my servers, network, or applications, then SecureX will react to the problem."

"It has evolved a lot, just that monitoring piece to the current Orchestrator piece. The additional analytics are there. They now have something called Insight, which can basically take data from Microsoft Azure AD and Intune to give us information about our endpoints. This is detailed information about the endpoints, from Secure Endpoint and all these different products. So, it is just constantly evolving. Every time that it evolves, we have more information with more visibility. There are more features that we have that just make everything so much easier, and it is in one place. I don't have to keep going back and forth. I don't have to go to Secure Endpoint and ISE to get the data. I don't have to go to Intune on Microsoft to get the information. It is all in one place."

"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of deploying SecureX. It's very easy to do that and then you gain very detailed visibility into everything that's going on in your network and, obviously, at the device level. There's just a wealth of information that you can pull from all of these products that are part of SecureX. You know exactly if you have an issue or not."

"Our customers find the product's third-party integrations valuable. Our customers are also impressed with the tool's capability to pick up third-party threat feeds and use that as part of the decision-making process."

"Using SecureX, a tool provided by Cisco, we can easily integrate it with many of our other Cisco products such as Cisco ISE and many networking devices."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] pros

"Threat detection and response time has been reduced by 70–90%, risks are now identified within minutes instead of half an hour, false positives have decreased significantly, and the company now feels very secure."

"TrendAI Vision One allows us to monitor attacks in real time, which is a significant benefit, and we can quickly see where the attack is coming from."

"VisionOne offers a clear window into the security posture of our endpoints."

"Trend Vision One helps reduce my mean time to detect and respond to threats as without it, we would be scrambling and confused with not much information to go off of for threat hunting."

"The workbench alerts provide valuable insights into attack chains and relevant information, while Observer techniques give a comprehensive overview of ongoing activities."

"I like that it is a comprehensive security solution with a lot of features. You can say XDR is an end-to-end security solution with endpoint security. It includes all your servers, networks, and other devices. The endpoint security solution does not cover this. Plus, machine learning and features like that are the main things in XDR solutions."

"The Trend hunting feature is beneficial, providing the opportunity to investigate and see what's happening, using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK to analyze logs."

"The ease of configuration, customization, and organization are what I appreciate the most about TrendAI Vision One."

More TrendAI Vision One pros

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"For us, the biggest sticking point is that the product is not being designed for multi-tenancy use at present, from an MSP perspective."

"The playbooks provided with the product are great, although I would appreciate having more playbooks available. Threats are constantly evolving, so having access to updated playbooks is crucial."

"The documentation can be improved and the on-prem integration. The set of applications that it was integrated with wasn't comprehensive."

"If they could make the Cisco Umbrella piece a little bit more advanced or easier to manage, that would help. We use it for filtering and when you compare it to a normal content filter, it lacks some functionality."

"The automation and orchestration could be simpler. It could be that all the other parts are that easy to use so that these stick out as a negative, but that's the trickiest part for us. The workflows within the orchestration are just a bit more difficult."

"I'm not sure that I would call it a bug, but sometimes the solution is a little slow."

"One of the improvements the product needs is more integration with collaboration platforms."

"The front-end work controls the new algorithm and the firewall rules. The search feature of these rules could be improved."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] cons

"Vulnerability scanning could be improved. They need to see more CVEs and scan products for known vulnerabilities, allowing for better display and review of potentially exploitable servers by hackers or through configuration settings."

"It is a bit slow to implement kernel support on the Linux side. When doing patching and upgrades on our Linux servers, we often find that the Trend agent doesn't support the kernel version."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. It would also be better if the implementation were more straightforward."

"An easier way to understand the credit structure would be helpful."

"In TrendAI Vision One, an area that has room for improvement is the DLP policy governance, particularly around data leakage protection."

"The integration with third-party tools and with on-premises Active Directory needs improvement."

"Some improvements could be made, but all the possibilities of the platform are not being fully utilized, so some features that could be discussed may not have been explored yet, though they may already be available."

"Email security sometimes may lead to some true positive attachments."

More TrendAI Vision One cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"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 solution is high for the license and in general."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is competitive, especially for education institutions. Licensing can be a little bit difficult to navigate, especially with resellers with Cisco, but for us it has been pretty easy."

"It would be nice if they had a different pricing model. Most of our budget for projects goes towards Cisco."

"The product is absolutely free to any customer. As such, the only thing one must keep in mind is that as long as he already has one Cisco security product, irregardless of what that product is, SecureX is available for free."

"The pricing is the best part of this solution. It is free if you buy Umbrella or Duo Security. It is also a good solution."

"It comes free with all Cisco products. So, it is a good price."

"You can spend less money for another solution, but if you really want to have a good solution you have to pay. We are happy that we are getting such a good solution for what we are spending."

"For the value you get, the pricing of the solution is excellent."

"It is free. It can't get any better than that."

More Cisco SecureX [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"Trend Micro recently switched from a license-based pricing model to a credit system, which caused some initial frustration during my renewal."

"Trend Micro XDR is expensive but we got a good deal from Trend Micro."

"I feel that Vision One is a bit expensive. As for the pricing or licensing, I would rate it a seven out of ten."

"The solution is fairly priced."

"We have an annual subscription and I believe there is no option for monthly billing at the moment."

"When we have a good product such as Trend Vision One, the price is fine."

"I do not have much visibility to it. It is definitely not a cheap product, but to my knowledge, it is out there with the big wigs in the industry, such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and other EDR/XDR vendors. I had heard, and found out eventually, that their sales teams are very flexible, as more sales teams are."

"The pricing of the solution is okay. There is a need for me to look into the new pricing plan introduced by the solution recently."

In his opinion, “SecureX takes all the separate pieces of security within your company, adds in intelligence from different sites and services on the internet, and makes them work together. If an email is received on a machine and malware is being executed, it can be put into lockdown mode. The fact that you can have a single solution that combines endpoint intelligence with email intelligence, firewalls, and publicly available intelligence is really helpful. Also, SecureX provides us with contextual awareness throughout our security ecosystem. Before SecureX, things that were not possible, or that would take days, now literally take seconds to find out.

Michal S., Infrastructure Engineer at a media company, says, “SecureX provides many measurements and has a really good dashboard. Working with it you are able to see things very clearly and you have every detail on a single display. That saves us money and time.” He also adds, “It brings all our data into a central point. It also shows us many data connections between many of our environments. SecureX gives you really good information about potential risks. You are able to find the source of a risk, a potential risk from a user or a machine.”

Blair A., Technology Director at Shawnee Heights USD #450, explains, "One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of deploying SecureX. It's very easy to do that and then you gain very detailed visibility into everything that's going on in your network and, obviously, at the device level. There's just a wealth of information that you can pull from all of these products that are part of SecureX. You know exactly if you have an issue or not."
