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

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."

"It is easy to use."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

"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."

"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."

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

"I don't have any problems with the stability of the solution and really like it."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."

"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."

"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

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

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"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."

"Speed"

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"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."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."

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

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

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

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

"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"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."

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

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

"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."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"This is an expensive solution."

"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."
