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.

Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects

I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."

"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours."

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is very scalable."

"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."

"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."

"I don't have any problems with the stability of the solution and really like it."

"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is easy to use, stable, flexible, and the performance is great."

"The ability to generate profiles specific to both business groups and organizations has made managing nearly 1000 endpoints very simple."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it is a low profile environment as far as overhead on the machines."

"Speed"

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

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

"There are some false positives."

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

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."

"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."

"To be honest, this makes me miss Panda."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."

"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."

"There are issues with macOS or Linux, and the patch management should take care of apart from Windows, Apple and other operating systems."

"Because we bought Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security via Rectron as a distributor, they need to upskill their distributors."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

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."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

"The price is fair."

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."

"The licensing costs can vary."

"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."

"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."

"The license is yearly."

"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"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."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"It is relatively cheap."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
