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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"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."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"During the PoC, we figured out that this product is far better, and it met our requirements."
"When something is detected you can log into the GUI and you can get very specific details about what happened."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure — the fact that it's not finding anything; however, I am not experiencing the issues that competitors are saying I should be experiencing."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The product's initial setup 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."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
 

Cons

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"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."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"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."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is moderate."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Very costly product."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"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."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
