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

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The tool is easy to use."
"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."
"Once the initial setup and configuration is complete, you just have to sit back and monitor."
"The most valuable features of this solution are, of course, the IPS/IDS, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, and Antivirus."
"Overall, I like this product and I am satisfied with what it does."
"Easy to use security solution, helps to secure connected devices against viruses in the digital world."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"I really like the solution and how it works."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Security performance."
"The product is quite affordable."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
 

Cons

"The product's pricing could be better."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"In terms of what is lacking in ESET, it really would need more features for the users when they are working outside of the corporate network."
"The console or GUI of ESET Endpoint Antivirus should improve. Additionally, they should provide an addon feature for HyperV and VMware."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"The update process can be improved, and there could be an automatic update process when a new version comes out. For system updates or program updates, there could be more automation."
"It is for this reason that I would not recommend ESET on a larger scale."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"User management could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Very costly product."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"It is subjective. I don't think it is expensive. If you can have 10 user licenses for less than $100, I don't think it is expensive."
"The price of ESET Endpoint Antivirus is fair compared to the performance of other solutions."
"The price of the solution is very good compared to other solutions."
"It's a cost-effective product"

"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
