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 positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"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."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"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."
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"The potential threat protection feature is the most valuable. In the event that one of my computers is not on the network and gets a virus, ESET Endpoint Security quickly detects the malware, and in most cases, it removes the virus. It also has the ability to remotely shut down the computer. I like the remote control part the most."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"When we use ESET, our clients do not have any problem with viruses and any problems with ransomware and other types of viruses, so it is a very good product."
"The solution's features and pricing are pretty good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"In terms of the current global landscape, it is a great solution."
"The most valuable features are the sandbox, mail scanning, sandboxing attachments, files, and that it responds to VPN porting."
"The convenience has been great."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"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."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"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 solution lacks the automation I need."
"ESET should consider giving it application control."
"The product should provide a one-click option to renew the licenses."
"It's not scalable in that you cannot use a license for multiple devices."
"I used Avira previously and ESET lacks certain aspects in comparison to Avira."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"Data Leak Protection is is what we are searching for at the moment. It is not included with ESET."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I'd have to look through my records, however, we paid maybe $600 to $1000 for this product."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."

"Its price is reasonable."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"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."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The license isn't expensive."
