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.

Provides detailed event investigation and endpoint control but needs better Mac support and UI improvements
I find the advanced behavioral analytics feature in Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a little gimmicky, as I don't usually find much use for it. The advanced behavioral analytics feature needs to be optimized to be more user-friendly and easier to work with. We don't specifically look for the customizable dashboards within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR; rather, we get the logs on our SIEM solution, QRadar, where we have created the dashboards. We also have Tableau and Power BI, so we don't utilize any dashboards on the EDR front. I would like to optimize the incident response area as well, especially when comparing my experience with CrowdStrike, which is relatively more responsive and easier to navigate when there are multiple hosts involved. Other areas of improvement for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR include its lack of support for Mac devices.

Has plug-and-play capability once configured and good reporting system
The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"I think that in Egypt, the cloud version of Bitdefender is more mature than Kaspersky and the other vendors."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits."
 

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"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."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
