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

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks's ability to block sophisticated threats in real time is quite good and is on par with SentinelOne's."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"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."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."

"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."

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

"The centralized GravityZone console is straightforward to use."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

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

"Auto-Remediation"

"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."

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

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

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

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

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

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

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

"The server sometimes stops continuously to check things so it would be helpful to receive access updates or technical reasons."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

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

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."

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

"The solution's stability could be better."

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

"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

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

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

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

"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."

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

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

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

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

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

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

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"I don't like that they have different types of 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."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"The licensing costs can vary."

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

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"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 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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

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

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"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."

"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."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

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

"It is relatively cheap."
