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

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

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

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."

"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware."

"Jamf Protect has positively impacted my organization by reducing malware, spam, and these kinds of threats from our company."

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

"The behavioral detection is valuable."

"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."

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

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

"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."

More Jamf Protect pros

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

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

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

Cons

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"This is a very costly product."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."

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

"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."

"Jamf Protect can be improved by addressing the steep learning curve for the custom analytics engine."

"The dashboard of Jamf Protect is quite challenging to understand, so it would be great if it were more user-friendly."

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

"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."

More Jamf Protect cons

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"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 to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Very costly product."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
