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

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."

"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."

"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."

"The product provides a single dashboard."

"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."

"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."

"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."

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

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

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"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."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"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."

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."

"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."

"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."

"The dashboard can be improved."

"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."

"The phishing feature report showed zero results, and the patch management component is one of the two main issues that need improvement."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"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."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

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

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."

"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."

"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."

"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"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."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
