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.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"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."
"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."
"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."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Product might have some bugs."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
 

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."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"Very costly product."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"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."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
