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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."
"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."
"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."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"Bitdefender Total Security offers a wide range of valuable features that enhance its usability and effectiveness."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"I highly recommend Bitdefender Total Security for other users; in independent tests, it has always performed the highest out of any of the endpoint solutions."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
 

Cons

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"The location-tracking feature for finding phones could be improved, as well as the remote wipe functionality."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would find it more useful to receive notifications more often than just reporting on what's happening."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"User management could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"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."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
