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.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response

There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Very good malware and goodware repository and enables us to look more deeply at indicators of compromise

The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild. Also, the solution’s object and file analysis provide us with actionable insights. Its malware and goodware repository is very good. It's very robust. It gets all of the different repositories that are out there that do analysis and brings them under one roof where we can statically analyze for those indicators of compromise and look at them more deeply. If we need to go deeper into things, we can do that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"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."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."

"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."

"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."

"CrowdStrike is excellent at preventing breaches, and our security operations are more robust as a result."

"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by making our response time much quicker and giving me confidence in the alerts and information we receive."

"The flexibility and always-on protection that is provided by a cloud-based solution are important to us; the cloud is everywhere, so with the agent on the laptop, wherever the user may go, including home, office, or traveling, it's protected 24x7, all the time."

"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"As far as the availability of the content is generally concerned and the number of malicious programs that can be looked up in the repository, these are very extensive."

"We had nothing in the environment to do such analysis, so it's been a savior in many ways."

"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."

"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."

"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."

"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."

"We have complete faith that it can do that for us, and can do it at scale."

"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."

Cons

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."

"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The UI is not efficient."

"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."

"Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can improve their supportability of legacy devices."

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."

"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."

"The solution needs to improve integrations."

"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."

"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"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."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"Very costly product."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is great for us."

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"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."

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."

"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."
