Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 13, 2026

CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR and Seqrite Endpoint Security compete in the cybersecurity space, specifically within endpoint protection. CrowdStrike seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced threat detection capabilities and wide range of features.

Features: CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR offers advanced endpoint detection with behavior-based detection, real-time alerts, and extensive endpoint visibility. It uses a lightweight agent that ensures minimal performance impact and provides managed threat intelligence services. Seqrite Endpoint Security includes centralized management, data loss prevention (DLP) modules, and effective ransomware protection, focusing on inventory control and fast scanning.

Room for Improvement: CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR users suggest enhancing dashboard flexibility, reducing false positives, and improving third-party integrations.

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.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response

There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."

"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."

"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"Positively, we have been able to successfully maintain compliance within all of our security obligations within our industry, have had next to zero downtime outside of larger widespread problems, which has allowed us to remain secure on all of our endpoints and be able to conduct business with a lot less worry, and we have also been able to improve our response speed to potential threats and infiltrations into the firm, as well as hardening those areas and offering faster and more effective remediation methods based on the data found from CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The advice I would give to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon is that they have great capabilities and good pricing options."

"The platform is very scalable."

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon is the best endpoint protection solution I've used so far."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has been very low maintenance."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has affected the workload or productivity of my security team considerably better, because now I have visibility of what is happening within the organization from an identity perspective and a security perspective."

"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"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."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"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."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

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

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."

"Managing the product should be easier."

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

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."

"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."

"Forensic controls have room for improvement."

"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."

"This solution lacks basic functionality, such as being able to perform on-demand scanning."

"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."

"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."

"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"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."

"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."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

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

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."

"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."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is great for us."

"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."

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

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
