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

"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."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"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."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."

"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"The Insight feature is one we found the most useful."

"We can protect against the worst level of attacks."

"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."

"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."

"During the PoC, we figured out that this product is far better, and it met our requirements."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

Cons

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"Managing the product should be easier."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."

"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."

"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."

"I have not seen a return on investment from CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."

"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved, but they were resolved relatively quickly."

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."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."

"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."

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

"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

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

"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."
