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

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

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

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"The solution's stability is generally good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

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

"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."

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

"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."

"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."

"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

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

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

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"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."

"Low performance requirements."

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

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."

"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."

"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."

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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 firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."

"The dashboard can be improved."

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

"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."

"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."

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

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

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

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"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."

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

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

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

"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."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The price is fair."

"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."

"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."

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

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice
