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

"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
 

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"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."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"I don't think anything is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon, but if they can manage their SOC solution instead of users or the end users or customers doing that, it will be very useful, just as Sophos does."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"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."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"User management could be improved."
"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."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"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."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
