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.

Endpoint security has improved and real-time detection and response reduce false positives
The best features CrowdStrike Falcon offers are endpoint detection and response, cloud-native lightweight agent, AI-powered threat detection, threat hunting, and Falcon Overwatch. The feature I use the most is endpoint detection and response, which you can call EDR. EDR makes the difference in this case because it provides real-time alerts for suspicious activity and full process tree visibility showing what ran, what spawned, and what is happening inside the LAN on the endpoint. It allows for quick investigation of endpoint logins and quick host isolation to stop the spread. Using CrowdStrike Falcon typically leads to faster threat detection, quicker response, and better visibility across the endpoints. This means I can understand, or an administrator can understand the logs and situation, what is happening with the endpoint, and what suspicious behaviors are occurring inside the endpoints. It has reduced false positives and has a lightweight performance impact, resulting in no heavy use or heavy scans of the agent. User productivity is also increased on the endpoint side.

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"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 multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The solution offers great stability."
"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."
"The detection is very effective."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"The solution has been quite good, and, overall, the features we need are available to us."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"It is a very useful tool; it is worth buying irrespective of price."
 

Cons

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"Regarding improvements in reports, when I try to pull a custom report, there are some mismatches, or it does not look professional."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"I suggest that if the mobile phone acquisition is embedded in the Encase law enforcement version, it would be very useful."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"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."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"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."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"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."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"Annual licensing."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"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."
"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."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
