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.

Effective real-time threat detection and reduced network congestion improves security posture

We are not currently using the automated patching or patch management. The security analytics feature, which could help us stay compliant with industry standards, hasn't been enabled yet. Currently running on-premise, we are considering moving to the cloud-based Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security because it offers more features compared to the on-premises version. We've experienced multiple failures during appliance upgrades, sometimes requiring us to resort to backup. Mobile and cloud features are currently missing in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security. Operating from the primary site, we face challenges with the on-premises version when working from the DR site, which is why we want to move to the cloud for continuous protection during site failovers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

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

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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 most valuable feature is the IDS."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is very scalable."

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."

"The most valuable feature is the security of the DNS protection and the core security antivirus engine."

"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

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

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security, which is very powerful and has been useful over the last year."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

"Product might have some bugs."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution's stability could be better."

"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."

"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."

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

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

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

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"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."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"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."

"The price was fine."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

"The licensing costs can vary."

"The price is fair."

"The license 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."

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."

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

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

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

"It is relatively cheap."

"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."
