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.

Protects personal devices effectively and prevents access to fraudulent websites
The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN. If VPN was included in Bitdefender Total Security, that would be a really valuable feature to add to the product. The VPN is handy, but to pay quite a lot more on top is costly. VPN is becoming a lot more commonplace and needed, and some competitors are now including it as part of their offering. I have no intention of moving away from Bitdefender Total Security, but I just think that could be quite a valuable addition to have as part of the product.

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

"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."

Cons

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"The location-tracking feature for finding phones could be improved, as well as the remote wipe functionality."
"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
