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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection itself, which works well for us."
"I'm an end-user; from my experience, it's been solid, thorough, and transparent behind the scenes."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"ESET Endpoint Security is highly stable."
"As a technical person, I would recommend it based on its performance and the way in which it does not block you or get in the way when doing work."
"ESET Smart Security protects your computer against real world threats and malware attacks and provides added security layer with spam filtering, firewall and parental control."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"It's not a huge thing, because it doesn't happen very often, but I'll notice sometimes, when there's a startup scan, the computer does bog down a little bit. However, this happens rarely."
"Sometimes, ESET sends alerts within my own network that cause confusion. That is, it might warn about contamination, or that the VM has crashed, but it doesn't go further than that. It just shows me the alert and sometimes I am not sure what to do about it."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"I would like them to take more preventative measures in virus prediction. I would also like to see AI features that would do this type of prediction."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"The speed of response of technical support could be faster."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of five. It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"ESET Endpoint Security does not have application control."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the Community edition."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"This is not an expensive solution."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."

"Pricing per month, for security services as apps in CEE pricing: up to €2 monthly is OK."
