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

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."

"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"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."

"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing good protection, logs, and reports, which I find very good."

"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."

"We haven't had any infections or down time."

"The flexibility and always-on protection that is provided by a cloud-based solution are important to us; the cloud is everywhere, so with the agent on the laptop, wherever the user may go, including home, office, or traveling, it's protected 24x7, all the time."

"Before CrowdStrike Falcon, there were 40 to 50 alerts per day with many antivirus detections and time wasted validating non-issues, but after installing the CrowdStrike Falcon agent on the endpoint, there are now 10 to 15 meaningful alerts that we can work on and isolate the system, with a 60 to 70 percent reduction in false positives and investigation time reduced from three to four hours to one to two hours, and per user from 10 to 15 minutes to around five minutes."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."

"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"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 convenience has been great."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but 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."

"The deployment is pretty hard."

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."

"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."

"Limited remote connection."

"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."

"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."

"The performance could be better. It's a bit slow."

"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."

"Forensic controls have room for improvement."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"User management could be improved."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"It is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"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."

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."

"Annual licensing."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"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 licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"The pricing is reasonable."
