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.

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The installation is straightforward."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The setup was easy."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"If you need a Windows based multi-functional end-point security solution then this product is for you."
"It is very good for preventing cryptolocker attacks."
 

Cons

"There are some false positives."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"Unfortunately, the solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"Release speed for newer versions. When a new OS is released, you've got to wait half year to get the new version that covers the new Windows OS."
"Only Windows based. Dependence on MS updates and service start-up priority."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"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."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
