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 protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"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."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

"It is easy to use."

"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."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."

"There are some great features in ESET Endpoint Antivirus when you are browsing on the internet. For example, they have a notification if within your LAN network something is suspected to be a threat. Additionally, the malware features are very good."

"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."

"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."

"ESET has regular updates, and it gives me good feedback. It's not too onerous like some of the products I've used in the past."

"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."

"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."

"The most valuable features are the sandbox, mail scanning, sandboxing attachments, files, and that it responds to VPN porting."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform pros

"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 solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

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

"The convenience has been great."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The solution is stable."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"Limited remote connection."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."

"A few times, we have had problems with downloading an agent. We had to try multiple times and multiple uploads."

"The adware module could be improved."

"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."

"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 solution lacks the automation I need."

"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."

"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform cons

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"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."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

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

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

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
