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.

Cloud-native security has improved real-time threat detection and streamlined daily operations
While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users. Sometimes, navigating through different sections and understanding detailed alerts takes time, especially for teams without deep security expertise. The cost is also something to consider, as the features and additional modules can increase pricing, which may be a challenge for smaller teams. Additionally, some integrations with simpler reporting would be helpful. The onboarding process for new users is a bit challenging for beginners to understand all features and workflows in the product. More simplified documentation, step-by-step guides, and real-world examples could help new users get comfortable faster. A structured onboarding or basic training module would be very useful for teams who are new to endpoint security tools. In addition, having more in-product guidance and tooltips within the dashboard could make navigation easier and reduce the learning curve. Overall, improving training resources and onboarding support would make the platform more user-friendly, especially for new users.

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 easy."
"The management capabilities, allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"Cortex is the best tool for endpoint detection, with 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."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."
"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."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"We have been completely happy with the solution that we have been running on for years now and have never regretted our decision."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"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."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"Product might have some bugs."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"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."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
