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 features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

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

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

"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."

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."

"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."

"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."

"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."

"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."

"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."

"Based on my experience, I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security a nine out of ten."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"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."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

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

"Low performance requirements."

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

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"Product might have some bugs."

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"The product's pricing could be better."

"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."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"Because we bought Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security via Rectron as a distributor, they need to upskill their distributors."

"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."

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

"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 are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

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

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

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

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

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"Very costly product."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I am using the Community edition."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"The price is fair."

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."

"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."

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

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

"The license is yearly."

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

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

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

"The solution is very cost-effective."

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

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
