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

"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"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."
"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."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The product is stable"
"Bitdefender Total Security offers a wide range of valuable features that enhance its usability and effectiveness."
"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 solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
 

Cons

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN."
"The stability could be improved."
"The location-tracking feature for finding phones could be improved, as well as the remote wipe functionality."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"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."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The interface is slow."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
