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.

Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security

The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

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

"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"CrowdStrike's advantage is that the agent is light, so it doesn't require many resources on the machines, it's easy to install, and the results are useful to the organization."

"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."

"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."

"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"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."

"In general, we feel more secure knowing that we are not relying on multiple different technologies to provide a different kind of protection."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."

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 centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

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

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

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

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"Limited remote connection."

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

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"Although I would say this product is highly-rated, it could probably do more because nothing does everything that you want."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."

"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."

"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."

"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."

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

"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."

"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

"User management could be improved."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

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

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"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."

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

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

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

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

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

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"It is a cheaply priced product."

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

"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."

"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."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."
