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

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR is its ability to detect all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it can integrate with Palo Alto Firewall."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very scalable; our proof of concept was a few devices and now at full scale we have 50,000 devices, and because it's a cloud console, if you do the implementation right and the sensor is put on in an automated process, it doesn't matter how many computers you have, it just runs."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"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 effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
 

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"Limited remote connection."
"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"There are a few features that could be added, as mentioned."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"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."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"I am using the Community edition."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
