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

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"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."
"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The product is stable"
"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."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The convenience has been great."
"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."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
 

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"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 GUI could be improved."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"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."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The tool's price is moderate."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
