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.

Enhanced mobile security with visibility into app and website usage, but installation challenges remain
We use Lookout for mobile devices, such as phones It has reduced our risk around mobile devices. I like the security features and being able to see what apps and websites people are using. There is nothing we have come across that we've desired. We have been using Lookout for one year. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"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."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"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."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"The solution is scalable, stable, robust and very flexible and intuitive, and it's probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"The product is solid, it's why we chose to distribute it, we're very particular about the products we distribute and only take the best, so we don't distribute Symantec or any other AV solutions."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"There is a good return on investment; it gives you the protection you need and, for network administrators, peace of mind, once you have installed this solution."
"Bitdefender has improved my organization in the way that it has grown our revenue over the years, with more clients signing on Bitdefender GravityZone and migrating from other antivirus solutions because of the ease of use, ease of installation, and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud while the same software can actually be installed on other servers or workstations and automatically knows what it's protecting."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"We have not had any issues with bugs or breakdowns."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
 

Cons

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"There are some false positives."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"The initial setup requires a little bit of experience with configuration."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"The pricing for Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is not that high. It's okay for its service, so I would download it on my personal computer and buy it for myself as a customer."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The pricing is fair; it's comparable to our previous solution, and we carried out multiple POCs and POVs (proof of value). The product is worth the money we pay for it."
"Lookout is definitely on the lower end when it comes to price point and that seems to be the only differentiator. The technology is in place in this space and it's really about who is coming in at the better price point now."
