Mohammad Qaw - PeerSpot reviewer
Perfect correlation and XDR capabilities for network traffic plus endpoint security
The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR. If you are not integrating it or feeding in your network traffic, then you are just buying a normal antivirus which doesn't make any sense. You are paying double the price to use the antivirus feature or to say you have XDR, but in reality you are not using it. The solution should include an on-premises option because some customers want only on-premises. It would be hard, but good to do if possible. Open XDR would be beneficial in the future. Right now, the solution is Closed XDR so cannot communicate with the few new vendors in the Open XDR market.
Juan Muriel - PeerSpot reviewer
Completely automated, affordable, and provides good technical functionalities
The antivirus and DLP features are valuable. Now, we have a campaign to encrypt all the drives of the company. We have a solution for network access control from Fortinet. When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination. We integrate Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response with other solutions to perform such isolations. We also use products for log monitoring and correlation and create use cases for automatic response.
