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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"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."
"The features seem to be alright."
"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."
"This solution blocks the brand new malware threats."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The convenience has been great."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
 

Cons

"It is a complex solution to implement."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"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 could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"While the pricing is good, they could always lower it a bit."
"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"There are some complexities if you want to manipulate the software."
"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"The price of the solution is very good compared to other solutions."
"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."
"This is not an expensive product."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"I do a two or three-year license for less than $100."
"The price could be a little lower."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the other products out there. It is definitely in line with the competition."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
