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.

Provides comprehensive monitoring and policy implementation with room for memory optimization
ESET PROTECT Enterprise makes the system a little slow sometimes and updates occur at startup. Sometimes unwanted pop-ups appear to users, and they are unable to disable them. The user-friendliness is lacking in some areas. When users are using any computer, ESET PROTECT Enterprise should work in the background without consuming much memory, and any updates should proceed in the background without disturbing the user.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The technical support of ESET is very good."
"ESET's strong points are that it is an unintrusive, easy-to-maintain, and deploy antivirus solution."
"It does everything we need it to do and it's easy to use."
"It is easy to patch, update, and set up scheduled scans."
"The solution provides EDR. You can customize how you prepare the endpoint for clients and the dashboard alerts."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems, because when I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The capability of pinpointing specific cyber incidents is a valuable feature for us."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis, and it's not expensive compared to its competitors."
 

Cons

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"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."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"Its automation can be improved."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"When it first starts up, it takes a lot of processing power when the machine is initially booted. Improving the startup side could be beneficial."
"One area for improvement in ESET PROTECT Enterprise is its capabilities on Mac devices, which are less functional compared to Windows."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The only problem is that the agents consume too much memory and system resources; the memory and resource consumption is high."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"Better dashboarding. At the moment, the dashboard only has an hour."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] could be improved with more flexible tuning options and clearer model transparency to better understand why certain behaviors are flagged; enhanced integrations with additional data sources and more intuitive dashboards would also help improve usability and investigation efficiency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
