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.

Integrated device protection has secured bios-level threats and preserves user performance
The features of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro that I appreciate most are the real-time analytics in CrowdStrike and the ability to detect anomalies in the computer at the BIOS level, which is excellent to have. You would not normally see that with standard antivirus or regular security software; it would not integrate with the BIOS, but the fact that it does means that you get an enhanced layer of protection with CrowdStrike, more than you would see with another product. My perception of chip-level recovery is that it is a beautiful thing. Normally you are dependent on the OS for recovery actions, but in this case, you do not need that because it happens at the chip level. It happens out of band, before the OS is booted; you can make recovery choices, and that is extremely important. You always need an out of band solution, and on end user devices especially, if that is possible, that changes the whole landscape. Normally out of band is only for server-level devices, but this changes that; this adds an extra layer of protection that you would not normally see. I view the critical feature of Advanced Memory Scanning by CrowdStrike as incredible; the fact that it can actively scan memory without any performance hit on the PC or server devices is remarkable. Previously, in years before 2020, we would see a performance hit from this type of software, but the fact that CrowdStrike integrated with Dell does not cause any performance hit on the end user or the overall performance of the computer is an amazing thing. It is probably the best performing antivirus software I have actually seen.

Centralized monitoring has improved threat visibility and reduced incident response time
In terms of valuable features in ESET EDR/XDR, we focus on endpoint device management as well as for the firewall team, including our log analysis and monitoring the firewall, which are three significant functions for us. ESET EDR/XDR has automated threat detection that gives us real-time incident alerts, and it helps us proactively receive and work on incidents that could have an impact. Regarding the usefulness of ESET EDR/XDR's behavior-based analysis in detecting potential breaches, we have identified some files or configuration files that should remain static, and if any changes occur without proper change management, we are able to identify those changes, including detecting zero-day attacks. The integration of threat intelligence feeds has helped our response strategies, as we are using Oracle OCA-based data analysis, and we have integrated it so that logs are forwarded to our SIEM, allowing us to analyze the data effectively. I evaluate the impact of centralized management on our security operations as very useful because it eliminates the need to log into individual systems to find sources, allowing us to identify all types of risks and vulnerabilities from a single desk.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has positively impacted my organization, as when Falcon detects a threat, it is completely true with no false positives."
"The best features that Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro offers include excellent integration between hardware and software security, providing significant leverage on AI-driven threat detection and giving all insights in one shot."
"The fact that CrowdStrike and Dell have gotten to a point where it has no user effect, or virtually zero user effect, is absolutely game-changing."
"The features of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro that I like the most include its ability to recover quickly."
"If you are considering protecting your Dell endpoints and your Dell infrastructure with CrowdStrike, it is a no-brainer."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has helped us immensely."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro stood out because it combines endpoint security with advanced levels of security and remote management capabilities, providing a more complete approach to securing and managing devices."
"Based on Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro's capability, my organization benefits from improved endpoint visibility, faster threat detection and response, stronger hardware-level protection, and reduced time spent troubleshooting devices through remote management, which helps reduce security risk and improve operational efficiency."
"The solution is easy to use."
"ESET EDR/XDR has automated threat detection that gives us real-time incident alerts, and it helps us proactively receive and work on incidents that could have an impact."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"It is pretty easy to install without any hassles, and ESET EDR_XDR has its own cloud portal where everything is available."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"I would like to improve the false positive and false negative rates of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro, see a simpler deployment and configuration, more customizable dashboards, broader integration with third-party security and IT tools, continued improvement in reducing false positives, and more detailed documentation and guided troubleshooting for administrators."
"Improvements needed for Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro include handling some legal applications better, as Falcon is blocking some legal, small applications, and it would be beneficial if they could increase their application database."
"As for improvements for Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro, there is currently no better support for mixed-vendor devices—if it is Dell, it is fine, but for other devices, the support is not that great."
"A more simplified onboarding process and easier configuration for smaller IT teams would be helpful."
"The biggest thing I would do to improve Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro is add that agentic AI to it at the highest level and allow it to start to deploy and do things ourselves."
"The room for improvement that I would recommend to make it a 10 is that it might be beneficial to scale out to include servers."
"The memory and CPU footprint can affect performance. It sometimes slows down the CPU performance."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
