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.

Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects

I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."

"Based on my experience, I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security a nine out of ten."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."

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

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"The GUI could be improved."

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

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."

"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."

"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."

"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

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

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

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."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."

"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."

"The price is fair."

"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."

"The licensing costs can vary."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
