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.

Granular threat insights have transformed investigations and now reduce alert fatigue and response time

Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by making it much more granular. It allows us to dive deep into the details of an investigation and gain a deep understanding of what is occurring. I have seen benefits from having multiple security capabilities on a single platform. It makes the unity of all the detections and information being in one place far more beneficial than having to navigate between devices, assets, or tools. This significantly reduces dwell time. The value I have seen from having endpoint identity, cloud, and other security telemetry in the same CrowdStrike Falcon platform is the same; having it all in one location truly benefits the time to remediation. CrowdStrike Falcon has affected the workload and productivity of my security team by reducing it. We utilize CrowdStrike Falcon Complete as well, and having them serve as the front line for everything eliminates many false positives. When we receive an escalation from them, it is a clear directive stating 'Here is a problem you need to fix,' rather than uncertainty about whether something might be an issue.

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

"It blocks malicious files, prevents attacks, and doesn't require many updates because it is a very light application."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."

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

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."

"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."

"It improves a lot of our security operations for threat management, and it provides a lot for our day-to-day operations too."

"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."

"The solution can scale easily."

"The EDR feature of CrowdStrike is fantastic."

"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by allowing us to focus on other things and not really worry about this."

"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"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."

"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."

"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"The MAC agent is not as robust feature-wise as the PC version."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."

"Regarding CrowdStrike Falcon's AI capabilities, I think it still needs a little bit of time to learn and improve itself in the environment, but overall it has been pretty accurate."

"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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."

"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."

"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."

"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."

"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The solution needs to improve integrations."

"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."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

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

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

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

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."

"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."

"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."

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."

"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 product is expensive."

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."
