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

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The detection is very effective."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting, and vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"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."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
 

Cons

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"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."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"One area for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon could be the user interface and reports; it requires some improvements to be easily handled."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"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. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"The interface is slow."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"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."
"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's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"User management could be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
