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 tool is easy to use."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"We are managed risk providers, a MRSP, and we have a partnership with ESET, which is a good solution and perfect for small and medium-sized organizations."
"We use ESET Endpoint Security to control the endpoints, and we can run full control of endpoints and receive good information from ESET about the endpoints."
"I'm really satisfied with ESET's technical support, they solve all of our problems immediately."
"I think ESET is very good; it is at the top of its game, and we can easily recommend it to our customers with confidence."
"We have cooperated with ESET for many years and resell their products with orange branded versions that help us to create revenue of more than €3 million yearly."
"A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues."
"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."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"The software has room for improvement in terms of CPU and other resource usage."
"Pricing for ESET Endpoint Security could be lower because here in Hungary, it's expensive."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"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 deployment is complex and not very easy to use for most people; you need to be a well-informed IT person for deployment."
"The solution’s console management and scalability should be improved."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I am using the Community edition."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and the price depends on the features you want to use. The overall price is reasonable."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."
"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"The price could be lower, but it's comparable, as other solutions have a similar price for the same effect."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
