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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"Overall, I like this product and I am satisfied with what it does."
"The dashboard is useful for management, and its cost for the features is hard to beat."
"It's easy to set up and quick to deploy."
"ESET Endpoint Security’s most valuable feature is the management console."
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"I have found the ESET Management Console very good. It gives me many features, such as managing users and installing a new version."
"I'm really satisfied with ESET's technical support, they solve all of our problems immediately."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are the search engine, easy firewall setup, and ransomware scans."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
 

Cons

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"This is a very costly product."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"The speed of response of technical support could be faster."
"It would be nice to have more features in vulnerability scanning, which I believe will happen eventually."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"I would like for the solution to be simpler to understand. While it satisfies our needs at the moment, it is really only understandable to those with a strong computer background."
"The solution lacks the automation I need."
"They should have better support for different languages and auto-upgrading."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"Very costly product."
"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."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"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."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."
"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"ESET is perfect, if you can afford it."
"For 200 or so users, it might cost around $10,000 or so. That is for a first-time purchase. A renewal may come in at $7,000 to $8,000, or around 20% to 30% less. This is a rough estimate of what to expect."
"This solution is a good value for the money."
"It probably is less expensive than Sophos."
"The price is okay and I don't have any issues with it."
"Customers buy the ESET Endpoint Security license for a year, two years, or 36 months."
