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.

Confident backups have enabled reliable rollbacks and supported multi-cloud growth
Central management is one of the main use cases of Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL]. Comprehensive workload coverage in Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] helps us back up our data. Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] has positively impacted our organization because we were able to test and implement changes confidently, knowing that if something goes wrong, we can roll back the changes. This confidence in our recovery capabilities helped us grow and conduct more research and development. Dell Data Protection - Endpoint Security Suite [EOL] offers very fast recovery time capabilities.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It is easy to use."

"It is a stable solution."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"We pay about $17 per user."
"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has a very high price, so it's a one out of ten for me in terms of pricing."
"The cost for CyberArk is very high."
