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.

Adds a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments
The tool's deployment is easy. HP Wolf Security's deployment was a swift process since it was initially compatible with Windows 10, the operating system on both machines. However, when I transitioned to Windows 11, I encountered minor issues that prompted me to delve deeper into Wolf Security to fine-tune security settings according to my preferences. While I mostly used default settings, there was an initial adjustment where I disabled the AI function related to malware. Currently, the system is running smoothly with no reported issues. Adjusting some settings raised concerns about compatibility between HP Wolf Security and Norton 360. Specifically, aspects of HP Wolf Security, such as the virtual machine component, intrigued me, but I hesitated due to potential conflicts. During my investigation, Windows 11 raised a flag, questioning the system's security settings with Norton 360 and HP Wolf Security. However, it seems that they coexist well without causing issues.

Security platform has reduced malware risk and has strengthened compliance for macOS endpoints
Jamf Protect provides multiple levels of telemetry collection, allowing me to select how sensitive I want to be on event triggers. Jamf Protect allows me to monitor against specific threat categories aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. In addition to protection, I utilize Jamf Protect to monitor our endpoint compliance with the CIS critical security control baseline. If the environment is predominantly Apple based, Jamf Protect is a strong solution for providing EDR capabilities to endpoints. The detection capabilities are on par with other leading EDR tools, and it integrates well with Jamf MDM. The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment. Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware. It offers better detection of malware, reducing downtime and risk to our network by approximately 30 to 50 percent. Implementing it is straightforward, although there can be a steep learning curve in general, especially for less technical users. The competitive pricing included in the business package is great, and compliance with our security standards has been maintained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a simple platform to use."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"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."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."
"Bromium allows us to safely view images and quickly and safely surf our network so that we can take proper care of our patients efficiently, effectively, and expeditiously."
"Our security posture has improved; it has definitely contained and prevented some malicious attacks from happening."
"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."
"It has reduced the number of virus and malware incidents and calls we have received compared to prior to deploying this product, and our overall security posture has improved."
"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."
"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."
"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"My advice for others looking into using Jamf Protect is that it is an excellent tool to use to secure your devices, so I would recommend moving forward with it."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware."
 

Cons

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"The tool behaves differently when I ported to Windows 11."
"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"
"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability."
"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms."
"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."
"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data."
"They need to improve the compatibility with other applications and its stability. It works well with attacks, but it doesn't work well with all software on the clients. There is a lot of troubleshooting and a lot of things that need to be tuned to make it work and not break things."
"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Regarding improvements for Jamf Protect, I receive the warnings related to insecure website accesses through mail at a later stage, so if they could be flagged the moment I visit them, that would be great because I would know exactly which website was causing the warnings."
"Jamf Protect should have more built-in automated remediation actions, enhanced reporting and long-term analytics, and deeper SOAR and SIEM native integration with more customization in behavioral rule tuning for MSP environments."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The customer service rating is four out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The price was fine."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The product came as a bundle with the machine."
"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."
"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
