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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."

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

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

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

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We use Bitdefender GravityZone Elite for our company to understand the features, and then we implement the solution for other companies or for our clients."

"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."

"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 initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."

"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."

"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."

"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good, it has been catching things in the wild, and reporting is good."

More GravityZone Business Security pros

"Webroot pioneered integration of novel concepts in endpoint protection."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"Speed"

"Previously, we used a mix of Trend/Sophos/Symantec. Webroot has all their best bits combined into one solution."

Cons

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

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

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."

"Sometimes upgrades are too heavy that they require backup like you're installing the solution for the first time."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."

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

"If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."

"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs."

"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability."

More GravityZone Business Security cons

"Webroot used to be really good when they first came out, but now they've completely fallen behind, sadly."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"I think the one bad point about this product is that we did not find a way for Webroot to generate reports or schedule automatic reports to be sent to clients."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"The price was fine."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"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."

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

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."

More GravityZone Business Security pricing and cost advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
