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.

Security platform has reduced malware risk and has strengthened compliance for macOS endpoints

Jamf Protect provides multiple levels of telemetry collection, allowing me to select how sensitive I want to be on event triggers. Jamf Protect allows me to monitor against specific threat categories aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. In addition to protection, I utilize Jamf Protect to monitor our endpoint compliance with the CIS critical security control baseline. If the environment is predominantly Apple based, Jamf Protect is a strong solution for providing EDR capabilities to endpoints. The detection capabilities are on par with other leading EDR tools, and it integrates well with Jamf MDM. The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment. Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware. It offers better detection of malware, reducing downtime and risk to our network by approximately 30 to 50 percent. Implementing it is straightforward, although there can be a steep learning curve in general, especially for less technical users. The competitive pricing included in the business package is great, and compliance with our security standards has been maintained.

Cons

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Overall, Jamf Protect is a strong product, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."

"Beginners need initial training."

"I think they could improve their technical support because sometimes for emergency needs, I require one-to-one support and can't wait even 24 hours to resolve my issue."

"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."

"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."

More Jamf Protect cons

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
