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.

Endpoint security has improved and real-time detection and response reduce false positives
The best features CrowdStrike Falcon offers are endpoint detection and response, cloud-native lightweight agent, AI-powered threat detection, threat hunting, and Falcon Overwatch. The feature I use the most is endpoint detection and response, which you can call EDR. EDR makes the difference in this case because it provides real-time alerts for suspicious activity and full process tree visibility showing what ran, what spawned, and what is happening inside the LAN on the endpoint. It allows for quick investigation of endpoint logins and quick host isolation to stop the spread. Using CrowdStrike Falcon typically leads to faster threat detection, quicker response, and better visibility across the endpoints. This means I can understand, or an administrator can understand the logs and situation, what is happening with the endpoint, and what suspicious behaviors are occurring inside the endpoints. It has reduced false positives and has a lightweight performance impact, resulting in no heavy use or heavy scans of the agent. User productivity is also increased on the endpoint side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"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."
"During the PoC, we figured out that this product is far better, and it met our requirements."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"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."
"The convenience has been great."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
 

Cons

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution."
"One area for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon could be the user interface and reports; it requires some improvements to be easily handled."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"Regarding improvements in reports, when I try to pull a custom report, there are some mismatches, or it does not look professional."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk."
"User management could be improved."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"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."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
