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

"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."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable 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."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"I don't have to do much monitoring with it; I don't have to have anybody manually looking at this, it gives us reports, and it lets us know if something needs to be addressed, and we can easily address it."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"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."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"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."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
 

Cons

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"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 good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"Improvement could be made in the number of false positives we get, there are more than there needs to be."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"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."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"Annual licensing."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."

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