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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization, and the centralized management system is very good."

"ESET Smart Security protects your computer against real world threats and malware attacks and provides added security layer with spam filtering, firewall and parental control."

"It's scalable."

"The solution is easy to install and configure."

"We've had a positive experience dealing with the solution and I would recommend it to other users, organizations, or companies."

"We have not picked up a bug yet, because we use ESET, which is a tried and proven system."

"ESET Endpoint Security's best feature is that it's invisible until it detects a problem."

"I really like the solution and how it works."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform pros

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

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

"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 update process and policy control are good."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"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."

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."

"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."

"They recently released an EDR integration. I hope they have more AI or intelligence filtering on the EDR events. Even though it has already got AI, but it is quite a different thing. So, they still have room to improve on the EDR part. This is one small piece that they need to improve. Otherwise, it is just fine."

"We do get false positives."

"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."

"ESET Endpoint Protection Platform could be improved by offering integrations and user-friendly dashboards that could enhance the overall experience and reliability."

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

"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform cons

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

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

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"User management could be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"This is an expensive solution."

"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 solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The price was fine."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the solution is hard to justify even if the EDR operates well."

"I pay about $100 a year, so it's really cheap. I'm sure that if I need something else beyond more technical support, I'll need to pay more."

"The price of ESET Endpoint Security is affordable."

"The solution's license is moderately priced."

"It is not expensive, but it is also not inexpensive."

"I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten. It is neither cheap nor expensive for our clients."

"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."

"It is just under $20 a user per year, and there are no additional costs. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing."

More ESET Endpoint Protection Platform pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

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

"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 pricing is reasonable."

"The license isn't expensive."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
