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.

Automated protection has reduced our management time and keeps all client environments consistently secure

Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved. It has some reporting in it, but it's a little cumbersome to work with, so the reporting that is there could be improved. The analytics dashboards of Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) are quite useful, and they are nice in that we can see an overview very quickly and drill down into specific issues or specific clients. The dashboards are quite good, though it would be nice if we had the same with automated reports. It would be much more useful for us to have that via email or having a report. The only downside that we find is that the product is a little bit slow.

Improved endpoint investigations and response have reduced risk but integration still needs work

I believe that Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) can be improved with better integration with other tools such as Cisco, Check Point, and Palo Alto. Cybersecurity professionals need agnostic tools that integrate with all the tools in their network. I think the workflow could be better; it is difficult to translate as simple letters and needs a more intuitive investigation workflow. I chose a six for my rating because I need EDR integration with different tools, tools with an intuitive investigation workflow, advanced native threat hunting queries, and cloud and hybrid visibility expansion. An important point would be noise reduction and alert context enrichment, as some medium-severity alerts may require additional contextual enrichment or automatic correlation with identity risk scores to help prioritize better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It integrates well into the environment."

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

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

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

"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."

"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."

"We moved from Sophos antivirus to Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and ever since then, we've been very happy with the product."

"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."

"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."

"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."

"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."

"The best features in the product, as a reseller, are the integrated SOC; integration with a SOC is one of the advantages."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) pros

"What we're using the most and what we found valuable in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response are Web Control, Advanced Threat Protection, and Threat Prevention features."

"Blocking browser navigation is a feature of the solution with which we have experienced success."

"The product and the services we have are quite good."

"This is a stable product."

"The product's initial setup phase was very straightforward since you just need to install it, and it works."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the ability to isolate or quarantine devices and block or detect Ransomware and other well-known tools that are used to exploit vulnerabilities on devices."

"Trellix has a user-friendly interface."

"When Trellix detects some threats, the device is isolated in a quarantine zone for examination."

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."

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

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

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

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

"The GUI could be improved."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."

"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."

"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."

"The solution must improve its management features."

"Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved."

"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."

"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."

"The solution lacks the ability to integrate with external platforms. In future releases of the solution, I would like to see the solution increase its integration capabilities with external platforms."

"The dashboard is split across different platforms. For example, if you want information on Incident Detection, you have to access one dashboard, and for DLP reporting, there's a separate platform. This fragmentation means you can't access everything from a single dashboard."

"Some modules that are doing machine learning and artificial intelligence are blocking our processes."

"The searching capabilities for the IOCs can be further improved"

"The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work."

"The graphical view for nodes must be increased."

"An area for improvement in McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is the historical search. For example: when you have information on the artifact and a precedent, you want to do a search, and that is a bit lacking in the tool."

"Initially, I was using it on servers, but it consumes a lot of resources on servers."

More Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

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

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

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

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."

"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is not that expensive, but it's not something that a startup could buy. Pricing for it is for midsized businesses. There's an additional payment if you want data retention for more than thirty days. They gave us data retention for thirty days. Then if you want longer data retention, they have the paid option for a three-month data retention period and for a one-year data retention period."

"The cost is okay, compared to other products."

"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing costs attached to the solution are very easy to manage. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Speaking about the price, you must use the product to find the product's cost for you."

"The price is reasonable."
