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

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."

"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."

"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."

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

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

"The dashboard and granular control features are great."

"The product is stable"

More Bitdefender Total Security pros

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"This is a very costly product."

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

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"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 by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

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

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

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

"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."

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

"The stability could be improved."

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

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

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

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

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"User management could be improved."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

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

"I am using the Community edition."

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

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is not expensive."

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."

"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
