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.

Has provided reliable risk management with some room for configuration improvements

In terms of stability, the solution is reliable because there are certain modules, such as advanced threat control and anti-exploit solutions, that are really good. The anti-phishing and content network protection are also very good. It is all about how you configure it. The best part is the risk management; it gives me real relief, and an overall idea of what all my systems are exposed to, where my weaknesses lie, and how I can address them—whether it's misconfigurations, user behavior creating the risk, or the OS software that isn't getting patched, or critical CVs that aren't getting mitigated. Those things have helped me out in a great way.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection

The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"Cortex XDR alerts us on the dashboard when there's a threat, which allows us to restrict that user and helps secure our infrastructure."

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."

"The best part is the risk management; it gives me real relief, and an overall idea of what all my systems are exposed to, where my weaknesses lie, and how I can address them—whether it's misconfigurations, user behavior creating the risk, or the OS software that isn't getting patched, or critical CVs that aren't getting mitigated."

"Overall, I rate GravityZone ten out of ten for its functionality and support."

"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good."

"The solution is the cheapest in the market."

"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."

"We have to do security audits every year and we saw how secure Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was, even the plan testers had difficulties taking control of a computer when it was protected."

More GravityZone Business Security pros

"This product really is the best solution for this security issue."

"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."

"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."

Cons

"The GUI could be improved."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool."

"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"It is more than adequate, just needing to keep up with industry changes."

"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features."

"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."

"Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."

"There could be more security features included in the product."

"Another observation was that we have disabled all the external media via GravityZone Business Security policies, but when connecting a device such as a phone, it was getting detected, and users were able to read and write files."

"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."

More GravityZone Business Security cons

"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers."

"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."

"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"This is an expensive solution."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
