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

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"It is a simple platform to use."

"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."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."

"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."

"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."

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

"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."

"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."

"The product is stable"

More Bitdefender Total Security pros

"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 overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

Cons

"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."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

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

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

"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."

"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."

"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."

"The location-tracking feature for finding phones could be improved, as well as the remote wipe functionality."

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

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"User management could be improved."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

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

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

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"The price was fine."

"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."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

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."

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The product is not expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
