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

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"The initial setup is easy."

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

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

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"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 live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."

"The most valuable feature is the security of the DNS protection and the core security antivirus engine."

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

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

"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."

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

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

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

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

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"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."

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

"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

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

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"The price could be a little lower."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"This is a very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big. What I mean is the initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"There are issues with macOS or Linux, and the patch management should take care of apart from Windows, Apple and other operating systems."

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

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

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

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

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

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

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"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."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

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

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
