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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"Once you install it, it is very stable because you don't have to renew it every year."
"The most valuable features for me in ESET Endpoint Security are the antivirus feature and detection."
"The solution offers impressive advanced protection."
"It's a very user-friendly product."
"The stability is good."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
 

Cons

"There are some false positives."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"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."
"I am a MAC user and my asset cybersecurity is continuously displaying warnings that I am not using their firewall."
"The migration between on-prem and cloud has room for improvement."
"The problem was that it didn't support Windows 7."
"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."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"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."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Pricing of ESET Endpoint Security is within the market pricing."

"It is not expensive; the pricing model is fine."
"The price could be a little lower."
"I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get."
