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

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Since using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, our MTTR has reduced, which means the mean time to resolve any ticket has been reduced."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."

"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."

"The solution is very scalable."

"The product is a good standard security tool."

"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."

"My advice to others looking into implementing Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is that it's a cost-effective system and it's quite reliable."

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"Low performance requirements."

"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."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

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

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"Product might have some bugs."

"Limited remote connection."

"I think Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could be improved by having tiered pricing by device, especially since we have not covered mobile devices because the cost is very high."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution's stability could be better."

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."

"I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."

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

"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."

"The dashboard can be improved."

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

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

"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."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"I am using the Community edition."

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

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"The price is fair."

"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."

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"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."

"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."

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

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
