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

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."

"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped lighten the load of our security analysts because it was the major tool that we were using and the one we utilized most."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."

"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."

"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The scalability is good."

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

"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."

"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."

"CrowdStrike was more innovative and it seemed to be a better long-term product."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"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 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 solution is stable."

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

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The update process and policy control are good."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."

"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."

"Limited remote connection."

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."

"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"There's an overall lack of features."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."

"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."

"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."

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

"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"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."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

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

"The cost of the solution can be improved."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"I am using the Community edition."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."

"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."

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

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

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

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable 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."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."
