Provides telemetry, risk assessment, and behavior monitoring
I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing. I think that is crucial and needed, and I don't see that often with most EDRs. The telemetry I get from the tool can be used in a SOC I use. The solution has behavior monitoring that allows you to monitor people's specific behaviour and practices. You can then ask the person to stop or start doing something. You can also do application management and access management. You can do many things within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because it is like a one-stop shop scenario.

Perfect correlation and XDR capabilities for network traffic plus endpoint security
The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR. If you are not integrating it or feeding in your network traffic, then you are just buying a normal antivirus which doesn't make any sense. You are paying double the price to use the antivirus feature or to say you have XDR, but in reality you are not using it. The solution should include an on-premises option because some customers want only on-premises. It would be hard, but good to do if possible. Open XDR would be beneficial in the future. Right now, the solution is Closed XDR so cannot communicate with the few new vendors in the Open XDR market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is worth the investment."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The setup was easy."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"The performance is great."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"The platform has significantly improved our organization by enhancing our ability to detect and respond to threats."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
 

Cons

"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"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."
"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."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The product pricing is reasonable. The licensing model was flexible based on the number of endpoints."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
