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

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."
"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 is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"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 product is stable"
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
 

Cons

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"The only thing that it does not include, which I would like to see in it, is the VPN."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"The stability could be improved."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"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."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The interface is slow."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
