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

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."

"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

"The tool is easy to use."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"BitDefender has improved our security by protecting our endpoints and servers from viruses and exchange server attacks with its inbuilt on access scan feature."

"The product provides a single dashboard."

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

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

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

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"Overall, the solution is stable."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

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

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"Managing the product should be easier."

"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."

"Limited remote connection."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."

"We've experienced multiple failures during appliance upgrades, sometimes requiring us to resort to backup."

"Because we bought Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security via Rectron as a distributor, they need to upskill their distributors."

"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."

"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."

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

"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"Areas for improvement would be the reporting system in the admin console."

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"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."

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

"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."

"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

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

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

"The license is yearly."

"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."

"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
