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.

Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control

The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

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

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"ESET is a more reasonably priced solution for us."

"ESET Endpoint Security is highly stable."

"The tool protects everything."

"The product is good for most endpoints, including laptops and desktops and works well with iOS and Windows systems."

"For organizations with budget constraints that need a reliable solution, ESET Endpoint Protection Platform is an excellent choice."

"In terms of stability, I can rate it at nine out of ten."

"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."

"It is pretty easy to deploy. Its update definition file is small, so it can dispatch very quickly within the enterprise. The product itself is very lightweight, so it won't delay your endpoint. You also don't have to do any difficult configuration because it comes with a very good default setting. So, you just install it and forget it."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform pros

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

Cons

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It is for this reason that I would not recommend ESET on a larger scale."

"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."

"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."

"It would be useful if they could automate the deployment more."

"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."

"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."

"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."

"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security was not complex because we have five years of experience. However, it is not as easy if we did not have the experience."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform cons

"User management could be improved."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

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

"I am using the Community edition."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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