Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects
I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"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 most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"Since implementing Bitdefender, the traffic to the firewall has significantly reduced, and network congestion has been resolved."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"BitDefender has improved our security by protecting our endpoints and servers from viruses and exchange server attacks with its inbuilt on access scan feature."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"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."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
 

Cons

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"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 a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The price was fine."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The license is yearly."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The license isn't expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
