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.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The most valuable features are incident creation, policy-based protection, IP whitelisting, and device encryption. These are beneficial for endpoint and server security."
"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"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."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."
"This is a very costly product."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"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 would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"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."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"The stability of the solution varies, several weeks ago I had some difficulties deploying CrowdStrike."
"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."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved, but they were resolved relatively quickly."
"I recommend that some deep-dive trainings are required for the NG SIEM, specifically for their next-generation SIEM module, as they need some basic trainings for that."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"User management could be improved."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
