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.

Comprehensive solution manages diverse security policies and enhances organizational network protection

The best features of ESET PROTECT Enterprise include its unique platform that allows me to manage firewall policies based on license type. Depending on the license, I can apply different policies across a range of IPs to ensure network safety. Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent. I can configure rules and receive email notifications about vulnerabilities. For instance, ESET LiveGuard checks all devices, identifying issues when vulnerabilities are found and alerting me promptly. ESET PROTECT Enterprise reporting and auditing features help my customers meet compliance requirements by allowing me to apply various security policies across their companies, ensuring their devices remain secure. ESET PROTECT Enterprise has EDR endpoint detection and response capabilities that have helped reduce security incidents for my customers. Although it's not the best EDR, ESET LiveGuard constantly monitors devices, effectively identifying and stopping threats such as ransomware. The product is an antivirus, specifically ESET PROTECT Enterprise, which provides solid protection.

Cloud-native threat detection has improved incident investigations and now reduces breach risk

We have covered most of the features over the past three years and look forward to discovering more as we work closely with the ExtraHop technical team, who are open to sharing what they have developed. Pricing is on the higher side, typically based on load, volume of traffic, and deployment scale. The advanced detection capabilities provide significant value in reducing investigation time, making the licensing and pricing acceptable for larger organizations. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments. ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360's SaaS environment is well-suited for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, effectively addressing real-life scenarios involving east-west and north-south traffic. The platform is recommended for large organizations in need of comprehensive detection capabilities. I would rate this product overall as an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."

"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems, because when I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."

"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."

"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."

"Regarding real-time analytics and threat detection capabilities in ESET PROTECT Enterprise, I find them excellent."

"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."

"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."

"From my personal perspective, it is easy to see on the console what's happening with each system."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros

"It is scalable."

"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has positively impacted my organization by helping us detect abnormal activity on our network that we could not detect through our SIEM or XDR platform."

"It is very easy to collect and handle data in ExtraHop Reveal(X) Cloud. Integration with Big Data is also easy. Many of our customers integrate it with Big Data platforms like Splunk or Elastic. It is also easy to handle and easy to understand."

"Their technical support is more effective and of better quality than other competitors."

"It stands out for its intuitive and efficient user interface, robust detection capabilities with minimal false positives, and the ability to handle encrypted traffic, making it a valuable asset for network security and management."

"ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 has undeniably improved our security posture, reduced manual investigation efforts, and facilitated fast threat detection mechanisms, which all help prevent costly potential breaches in enterprise environments."

Cons

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"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."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."

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

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"The onboarding process could be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."

"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."

"Certain updates prompt the computer to restart automatically. Users have complained that it initiates computer restarts during their work without intervention."

"The tool is complex and expensive."

"One area for improvement in ESET PROTECT Enterprise is its capabilities on Mac devices, which are less functional compared to Windows."

"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."

"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."

"When it first starts up, it takes a lot of processing power when the machine is initially booted. Improving the startup side could be beneficial."

More ESET PROTECT Enterprise cons

"They can include integration with SAP. Currently, no vendor provides network performance monitoring in the SAP market. It is a very big market. We have around 400 customers for SAP in Korea. In the USA, there are more than 10,000 customers."

"I would like to see ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 improved by integrating XDR features with NDR."

"Their professional service can be improved."

"A drawback includes bucket storage limitations for payload data, necessitating timely extraction for thorough investigations."

"One challenge with ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 is its pricing, which tends to be comparatively high in the marketplace."

"There needs to be more support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice
