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.

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

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

Cons

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The stability could be improved."

"The solution could improve the way they manage it."

"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."

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

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

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"The interface is slow."
