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 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."

"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"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."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"From a security perspective, it has significantly improved our ability to detect threats in real-time and respond quickly before they affect multiple systems."

"CrowdStrike was more innovative and it seemed to be a better long-term product."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."

"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."

"It's really good because it can detect anything."

"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."

"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."

"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"The convenience has been great."

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

"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"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."

"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."

"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"As of now, CrowdStrike Falcon does not have application control and web control."

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses."

"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."

"Setting up and installing CrowdStrike Falcon is not easy, so an area for improvement is for that process to be simplified."

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."

"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 Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

"The interface is slow."

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

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"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."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

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