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 detailed event investigation and endpoint control but needs better Mac support and UI improvements
I find the advanced behavioral analytics feature in Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a little gimmicky, as I don't usually find much use for it. The advanced behavioral analytics feature needs to be optimized to be more user-friendly and easier to work with. We don't specifically look for the customizable dashboards within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR; rather, we get the logs on our SIEM solution, QRadar, where we have created the dashboards. We also have Tableau and Power BI, so we don't utilize any dashboards on the EDR front. I would like to optimize the incident response area as well, especially when comparing my experience with CrowdStrike, which is relatively more responsive and easier to navigate when there are multiple hosts involved. Other areas of improvement for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR include its lack of support for Mac devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"My advice would be to do it."
"We have blocked and isolated a lot of malware that could potentially take this data away from us, resulting in no data breaches in the last three years."
"The performance is great."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The ease of deployment has been good."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
 

Cons

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"This is a very costly product."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"The reporting is much too simple. It should be more in-depth and offer more details and more information."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in the communication between servers and endpoints."
"Some of the things that we are looking at but not sure how far along they are with releasing are geo-tracking, remote wipe, and encryption management."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
