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 threat visibility has improved detection speed and strengthened endpoint protection

CrowdStrike Falcon is a very powerful tool, but at times the high initial adoption cost can be burdensome. To get the maximum benefit, as in our case where we integrate it with other security systems, a certain level of expertise is required, which is somewhat disappointing. Sometimes updates can cause unexpected issues in the system, so rigorous pre-testing is essential, and that is another point of concern. In the future, I would like to see even smoother integration with other security tools. If more flexible pricing models or SMB-focused packages were introduced so that small and medium-sized businesses can adopt it without too much burden, I think many more organizations could benefit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."

"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."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

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

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

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."

"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."

"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."

"Compared to before we implemented CrowdStrike Falcon, the biggest improvements have been visibility into security threats and response speed."

"The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted endpoint security and reduced the response time for incidents and alerts."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is able to identify threats based on processes, rather than looking at signatures and this is what I like about this solution."

"I like its detection capabilities, number one."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

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

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

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

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

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

"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."

"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."

"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."

"Regarding improvements in reports, when I try to pull a custom report, there are some mismatches, or it does not look professional."

"I recommend that some deep-dive trainings are required for the NG SIEM, specifically for their next-generation SIEM module, as they need some basic trainings for that."

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The interface is slow."

"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."

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"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."

"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."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
