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

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"The solution offers great stability."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"The most beneficial part is the active response capability of the product."
"The stability is very good."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
 

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"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."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"One area for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon could be the user interface and reports; it requires some improvements to be easily handled."
"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"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."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"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

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"The price was fine."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"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 of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"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 yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"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."
