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

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."

"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."

"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The primary way that CrowdStrike has improved the way our organization functions is visibility, and when we do have an issue, the ability to see what was happening before, during, and after the issue on the target laptop or server is far better than what we were used to."

"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."

"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."

"During the PoC, we figured out that this product is far better, and it met our requirements."

"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 initial setup was straightforward."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by providing more advanced telemetry, faster response times, and better intelligence to identify anomalies in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

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

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

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

"The convenience has been great."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

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

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"Fine-tuning the detection policy requires experience because the policy is very complex in Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and we get high false positive alerts."

"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."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved by continuing to keep everything on the cutting edge."

"Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically."

"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."

"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."

"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."

"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."

"With CrowdStrike, we have found that there are a few missed detections. We would not say it is completely reliable or 100% reliable, however, the ratio of missed detection is more in CrowdStrike."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"User management could be improved."

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

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

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

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

"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."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
