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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"It is easy to use."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"In general, we feel more secure knowing that we are not relying on multiple different technologies to provide a different kind of protection."
"Without CrowdStrike, our environment is risky for the developers. As it is now, we have not had any security issues for two years."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution that does not require a lot of attention."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The convenience has been great."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
 

Cons

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"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."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"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."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel it is fairly priced."
"I am using the Community edition."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"This is an expensive solution."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
