Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Comes with a large sample size and helps t stay on top of emerging threats
The solution helps to stay on top of emerging threats with easy integration with other products.  ReversingLabs has a large sample size.  The solution needs to improve integrations.  I have been using the solution for four to five years.  ReversingLabs' stability is excellent.  I rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"One major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"It improves a lot of our security operations for threat management, and it provides a lot for our day-to-day operations too."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by helping us to stay secure, resilient, and provide what our customers need all the time without impacting their data or disclosing their personal information."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has been very low maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats in an excellent way that enables us to see threats ahead of time and provides us with reports so we are able to see how we are lagging behind."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."
"We had nothing in the environment to do such analysis, so it's been a savior in many ways."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"Training is the biggest thing that could be improved; there is not a lot of training, and it is not that accessible."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."
"Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host.""
"During these two years with CrowdStrike Falcon, I certainly faced some problems, including the known CrowdStrike outage, which was quite pinching and brought many of the Windows-related services to a halt just because of one bad configuration push from CrowdStrike tracks."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."
"The solution needs to improve integrations."
"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."
"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."
"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

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The price was fine."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Very costly product."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price is too high."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"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."
