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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"The protection and device control features are the most valuable. I found its user interface and integration pretty good. It is very user friendly as compared to other products."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"ESET is the fastest solution on the market. It's also highly reliable. On top of the base configuration, you can set it to respond to events such as ransomware detection with network isolation and other automatic tasks. Our customers prefer ESET because it's reliable, fast, and light on system resources."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation. The detection is good and easy to use."
"The convenience has been great."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
 

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"There are some new antivirus technologies that rely on AI, artificial intelligence. ESET does not have this technology right now."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"I don't know if it's possible but I'm always looking for better protection."
"I would like for ESET to create a central management solution. This would make it practical to use the internet for medium-sized networks."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"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."
"On the solution's website, it is sometimes difficult to figure out how to download the exact product associated with your purchased license."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"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 we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
