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.

"The product is stable"

"The dashboard and granular control features are great."

"Bitdefender Total Security offers a wide range of valuable features that enhance its usability and effectiveness."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

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

"The deployment is pretty hard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."

"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."

"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."

"The solution could improve the way they manage it."

"I would find it more useful to receive notifications more often than just reporting on what's happening."

"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."

"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."

"The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN."

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"The platform is mostly stable, however there are hiccups with the cloud from time-to-time that impact the ability to get to the portal."

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower."

"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."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"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."

"I am using the Community edition."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."

"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"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."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

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

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
