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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

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

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We find that the solution is very, very scalable as a tool and it can completely manage and protect the endpoint."

"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."

"What differentiates CrowdStrike Falcon from other cybersecurity platforms I have evaluated are its many modules, the effectiveness of the sensor, the ease of management, superior performance, and versatility without limitations."

"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."

"Falcon has decreased the load on our analyst team because they don't have to manually contact the system owners to stop that particular event from happening as Falcon detects threats and quarantines the machines itself."

"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."

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

"The CrowdStrike Falcon sensor has had no performance impact at all on endpoint performance."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

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 solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."

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

"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."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"This is a very costly product."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."

"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."

"I think CrowdStrike Falcon is improving really well, with new topics in the newsletter every day, but there should be more API integrations for the last 20% of onboarding."

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

"The detection time has room for improvement."

"Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could be made a little more user-friendly."

"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"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."

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

"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."

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

"The tool's price is moderate."

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

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."

"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."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"The price is too high."

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."

"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"The license isn't expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
