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.

Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security

The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."

"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."

"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."

"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."

"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."

"We can protect against the worst level of attacks."

"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."

"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."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."

"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."

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

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."

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

"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."

"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about."

"The pricing is a bit too high."

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"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."

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

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

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"User management could be improved."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

"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."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"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."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."

"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."

"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

"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."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

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

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"The license isn't expensive."
