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

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"The stability is very good."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing good protection, logs, and reports, which I find very good."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The solution is very stable."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
 

Cons

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"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."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"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."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The price was fine."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"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."
