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.

Effective real-time threat detection and reduced network congestion improves security posture

We are not currently using the automated patching or patch management. The security analytics feature, which could help us stay compliant with industry standards, hasn't been enabled yet. Currently running on-premise, we are considering moving to the cloud-based Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security because it offers more features compared to the on-premises version. We've experienced multiple failures during appliance upgrades, sometimes requiring us to resort to backup. Mobile and cloud features are currently missing in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security. Operating from the primary site, we face challenges with the on-premises version when working from the DR site, which is why we want to move to the cloud for continuous protection during site failovers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"After installing this solution, it identified, blocked, and provided the complete attack chain, which was very helpful."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"Since implementing Bitdefender, the traffic to the firewall has significantly reduced, and network congestion has been resolved."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."

"The product is a good standard security tool."

"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"My advice about this product is that it is a very good solution and offers a stable and trusted software that runs smoothly and is easy to deploy."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."

"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."

"My advice to others is not to implement this solution. There are better solutions in the market."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

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

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
