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.

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.

A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution has been quite good, and, overall, the features we need are available to us."
"Image creation and image analysis in one program, basically for ease of use."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
 

Cons

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"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."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"With CrowdStrike, we have found that there are a few missed detections. We would not say it is completely reliable or 100% reliable, however, the ratio of missed detection is more in CrowdStrike."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."
"This is not the program I would suggest for a newbie using to learn. It is just too expensive for the full experience, and the student versions, while very good, are just for that, students."
"From a customer service standpoint, this is unacceptable."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"The price is too high."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
