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.

Cloud-based protection has simplified daily client support and keeps threats under control

The problems that we are facing with policy adoption include slow adoption, as it takes more than five minutes to adopt policy on client computers. ESET Network Attack Protection sometimes helps in reducing network-level intrusions, but sometimes it prevents local devices on the network, which are well-known and good devices, from being recognized, treating them as a threat. So it requires more administration than usual. ESET could implement a good solution for remote support in ESET Endpoint Protection Platform for improvement in the future. Since you have the cloud console, ESET could have something similar to AnyDesk or TeamViewer, but from ESET.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"One major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."

"The solution is easy to install and configure."

"A feature we like is setting the GUI of ESET Endpoint Security/ESET File Security to silent mode because some servers and clients can have performance issues."

"We have cooperated with ESET for many years and resell their products with orange branded versions that help us to create revenue of more than €3 million yearly."

"We use ESET Endpoint Security to control the endpoints, and we can run full control of endpoints and receive good information from ESET about the endpoints."

"The product is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, simple to access its features, fairly priced, highly customizable, easy to integrate with other products, very stable with no issues, and backed by very good technical support."

"ESET Endpoint Security is stable, I did not have any issues with it."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and maintain while also being fully encrypted."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform pros

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The convenience has been great."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"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."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution lacks the automation I need."

"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups."

"ESET Endpoint Security lacks some advanced functionalities and features which would be useful to be interconnected with the solutions we use, such as Microsoft 365."

"The deployment is complex and not very easy to use for most people; you need to be a well-informed IT person for deployment."

"It's hard to get support for ESET in Hong Kong and China. There's a number to call that goes nowhere. You can upgrade to the premium service, but there are a few restrictions."

"The adware module could be improved."

"The solution is not ideal for use in large enterprises"

"It would be great to have VIP functions added to the solution in a future release."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform cons

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"The interface is slow."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
