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.

Automated protection has reduced our management time and keeps all client environments consistently secure
Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved. It has some reporting in it, but it's a little cumbersome to work with, so the reporting that is there could be improved. The analytics dashboards of Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) are quite useful, and they are nice in that we can see an overview very quickly and drill down into specific issues or specific clients. The dashboards are quite good, though it would be nice if we had the same with automated reports. It would be much more useful for us to have that via email or having a report. The only downside that we find is that the product is a little bit slow.

Advanced detection capabilities ensure that targeted attacks will be detected and blocked before they arrive at our network. SOAR integration has assisted our security team and management in trusting the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."
"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"We moved from Sophos antivirus to Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and ever since then, we've been very happy with the product."
"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."
"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
"The best features in the product, as a reseller, are the integrated SOC; integration with a SOC is one of the advantages."
"The product provides a one-click recovery of encrypted files."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) scores highly because of its sheer depth of endpoint visibility, the precision of its behavior-based detection, and the massive time savings we get from its AI-guided investigations."
"Trellix has a user-friendly interface."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has positively impacted my organization with threat exchange and intel, low false positive ratios, and very high uptime values for both inline and spam modes, along with advanced detection and mitigation capabilities ensuring the highest level of protection and proper detection for command and control and bot attacks."
"The dashboard makes it easier and more effective to analyze data."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) does everything; it saves time, it saves money, and of course, it provides peace of mind."
"If there is any malicious behavior in the workstation or server, the tool stops or isolates it automatically and generates alerts."
"Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has positively impacted our organization by improving overall efficiency, overall detection and response capabilities, and the capability to improve threat detections as well as the overall efficiency, time utilized, resource management, and analytic use cases review, significantly enhancing the business functionality."
 

Cons

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"The only issues that we have are, one the cost, two the dashboard is not very intuitive, even though you can drill down within the dashboard, we usually have to gather information from other sources to determine locations and if its a false positive."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."
"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."
"Reporting in Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could be improved."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."
"The searching capabilities for the IOCs can be further improved"
"Trellix needs to focus on gaining traction with partners and building trust among users."
"The dashboard and reporting features are not so user-friendly or intuitive, so they need some work."
"One of the issues about the product stems from the failure to work on its administrative scalability. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement."
"I'd like the tool to become more like an XDR, with one management system and endpoint activation."
"The tools are not useful for that."
"One area where Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) can be improved is the lack of device or user mapping."
"Some modules that are doing machine learning and artificial intelligence are blocking our processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"This is an expensive solution."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The price was fine."
"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint Detection and Response is reasonable in terms of cost. It's a tool my company has been using for a few years now. It costs $25,000 to $30,000 for six hundred users."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Speaking about the price, you must use the product to find the product's cost for you."
"The cost is okay, compared to other products."
"Pricing is a problem in South Africa. It could be cheaper here. The rand-to-dollar exchange rate makes it expensive for us. A 25 dollar endpoint cost becomes quite significant when converted to rand."
"The pricing is always high."
