Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 13, 2026

CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR and Seqrite Endpoint Security compete in the cybersecurity space, specifically within endpoint protection. CrowdStrike seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced threat detection capabilities and wide range of features.

Features: CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR offers advanced endpoint detection with behavior-based detection, real-time alerts, and extensive endpoint visibility. It uses a lightweight agent that ensures minimal performance impact and provides managed threat intelligence services. Seqrite Endpoint Security includes centralized management, data loss prevention (DLP) modules, and effective ransomware protection, focusing on inventory control and fast scanning.

Room for Improvement: CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR users suggest enhancing dashboard flexibility, reducing false positives, and improving third-party integrations.

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.

"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."

"CrowdStrike Falcon sensor has had an impact on endpoint performance and my ability to deploy security at scale."

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

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"The solution needs to improve stability."

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

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

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

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"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."

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

"This is an expensive solution."

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

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"I am using the Community edition."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
