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

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"We have been completely happy with the solution that we have been running on for years now and have never regretted our decision."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"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."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"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."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
 

Cons

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"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."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"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."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"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."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."
"The interface is slow."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
