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

"It is easy to use."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."
"BitDefender has improved our security by protecting our endpoints and servers from viruses and exchange server attacks with its inbuilt on access scan feature."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The most valuable feature is the security of the DNS protection and the core security antivirus engine."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The convenience has been great."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
 

Cons

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"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."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"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."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"There are issues with macOS or Linux, and the patch management should take care of apart from Windows, Apple and other operating systems."
"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."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"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."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"The initial setup should be made easier."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The interface is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Very costly product."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"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."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The license is yearly."
"The price is fair."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
