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.

A Lightweight Solution Offering a Seamless Experience
In addition to managing the SOC, they offer Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities for servers and systems. What stood out for us is the product's lightweight nature, unlike other EDRs we evaluated that tend to be system-intensive. This lightweight feature significantly piqued our interest and influenced our decision to use the solution.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"In addition to managing the SOC, they offer Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities for servers and systems. What stood out for us is the product's lightweight nature, unlike other EDRs we evaluated that tend to be system-intensive. This lightweight feature significantly piqued our interest and influenced our decision to use the solution. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten. The solution is scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten. The support team is remarkably prompt. They quickly resolve any issues we encounter. The initial setup was straightforward. With strong timings and BSLAs, AgileBlie stands out when compared to competitors."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"We don't need to maintain onsite servers and deep end user updates with the new vulnerabilities."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"When something is detected you can log into the GUI and you can get very specific details about what happened."
"The threat intelligence on offer is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management, and the solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
 

Cons

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Limited remote connection."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"There is always room for improvement. There's potential for further enhancement in the capabilities of the EDR. However, there are positive changes we are satisfied with. They revamped the dashboard, addressing a previous issue."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable. There are no hidden costs or additional fees involved."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"Annual licensing."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
