Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Achieving nearly complete protection with reliable configuration management and effective technical support
The most valuable features of GravityZone Business Security are its anti-malware and anti-virus capabilities. The firewall policies are considered very powerful, and it prevents many malicious issues. The solution has its own definitions for viruses or malware, providing timely detection updates. Additionally, their technical support is very effective, with knowledgeable engineers handling cases efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is customizable."
"Stability-wise, it is good; I did not hear about any issues in terms of stability, and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can be trusted completely."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"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."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"The solution is the cheapest in the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Compared to whatever we had before, this solution gives us some advanced services, including protecting our network security."
"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good, it has been catching things in the wild, and reporting is good."
"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"Customer Service: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well. Technical Support: Top-of-the-line; the busy community as well."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"We no longer have to worry about running scans as it is so lightweight and there is no user impact."
 

Cons

"The product's pricing could be better."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"Another observation was that we have disabled all the external media via GravityZone Business Security policies, but when connecting a device such as a phone, it was getting detected, and users were able to read and write files."
"Technical support could always be improved."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."
"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability."
"It is more than adequate, just needing to keep up with industry changes."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription."
"The main issue with Bitdefender is the UI and console. It's not designed with current standards; it's not HTML5 and doesn't work well for navigation, making it a little clunky."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"Tech support needs to be improved. If we have an issue, and we don't have an issue very often, trying to get support's attention is a really difficult endeavor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"We have to purchase licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. We started out with approximately 150 licenses and now we have over 1,000. You can purchase licenses annually or every three years."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"Its subscription is yearly."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"The pricing is high."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
