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.

Protects personal devices effectively and prevents access to fraudulent websites

The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN. If VPN was included in Bitdefender Total Security, that would be a really valuable feature to add to the product. The VPN is handy, but to pay quite a lot more on top is costly. VPN is becoming a lot more commonplace and needed, and some competitors are now including it as part of their offering. I have no intention of moving away from Bitdefender Total Security, but I just think that could be quite a valuable addition to have as part of the product.

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 aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."

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

"Has great threat detection capabilities."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."

"The product is stable"

"The dashboard and granular control features are great."

"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."

"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."

"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."

"I highly recommend Bitdefender Total Security for other users; in independent tests, it has always performed the highest out of any of the endpoint solutions."

"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."

More Bitdefender Total Security pros

"Speed"

"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."

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

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"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 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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

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

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

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

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

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."

"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."

"The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN."

"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."

"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."

"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."

"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."

"The stability could be improved."

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"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 needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

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

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

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

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

"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."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"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 price was fine."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The tool's price is moderate."

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