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.

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

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"It is easy to use."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Jamf Protect impacts my organization positively by creating an ecosystem that delivers a massive shift in both risk reduction and operational speed."

"Jamf Protect has had a very positive impact on my organization; it has improved my visibility into endpoint activity across my macOS fleet, strengthened my security detection capabilities, and reduced the time required to investigate and respond to security incidents."

"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."

"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."

"The behavioral detection is valuable."

"If some other organization is using Jamf Pro, they should definitely go for Jamf Protect, as that will streamline many things for them."

"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."

"The features I find most valuable in Jamf Protect are amazing because any malware or any viruses can harm the entire fleet, and Jamf Protect takes action and protects against any alerts, and we are safe from any viruses and any attacks from the entire world."

More Jamf Protect pros

"Speed"

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"Low performance requirements."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"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."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"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 an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."

"Overall, Jamf Protect is a strong product, but there are a few areas where it 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."

"I think they could improve their technical support because sometimes for emergency needs, I require one-to-one support and can't wait even 24 hours to resolve my issue."

"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."

"The customer service rating is four out of ten."

"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."

"To improve Jamf Protect, I suggest enhancing the end user onboarding user experience, expanding out-of-the-box support for additional SIEMs, and noting that the user interface takes some getting used to."

More Jamf Protect cons

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"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."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."

"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."

"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."

"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."

"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
