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.

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The behavioral detection is valuable."

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

"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."

"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

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

"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."

More Jamf Protect pros

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

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

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"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)."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The price could be a little lower."

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

"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."

"When it comes to core analysis and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"Beginners need initial training."

"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."

"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."

"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 needs to improve its pricing."

More Jamf Protect cons

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

"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."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"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."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

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

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

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

"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 is an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing is high."

"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."

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

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

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
