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

"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."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"The dashboard is customizable."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"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 would highly recommend this solution; it is very easy to use, and it provides top-notch service, and I haven't had any issues with it."

"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."

"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."

"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"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."

"This is a great solution - it helped us a lot without business and improved the security we're offering to our customers."

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"Working as part of our security stack, it has protected us from countless attacks."

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

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"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."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

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

"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."

"We've experienced multiple failures during appliance upgrades, sometimes requiring us to resort to backup."

"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."

"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."

"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."

"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."

"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"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."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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."

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

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"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."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."

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

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

"The license is yearly."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

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

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

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

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution is very cost-effective."
