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

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"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 dashboard is customizable."

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use."

"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."

"Compared to whatever we had before, this solution gives us some advanced services, including protecting our network security."

"The solution is the cheapest in the market."

"GravityZone is very light on PCs and offers excellent threat detection capabilities, notably through its anti-malware and anti-virus features."

"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."

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

More GravityZone Business Security pros

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"The most valuable aspect of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is that I have never gotten malware with it."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"Low performance requirements."

"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."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

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

"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."

"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

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

"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 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."

"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."

"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."

"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions."

More GravityZone Business Security cons

"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"We were attacked by CryptoLock. It didn't protect us in the way we needed to and an attack was able to get through their defenses."

"This product has room for improvement to display a more detailed representation of the problem when a virus is or isn't stopped."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

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

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"The price was fine."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

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

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."

"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."

"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."

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

"Its subscription is yearly."

"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."

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

More GravityZone Business Security pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"The pricing is high."
