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

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"It is easy to use."
"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."
"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."
"Using this solution has reduced my need for imaging. We can mitigate the issue and address it immediately, for people both on and off of the network."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"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 update process and policy control are good."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"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."
 

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The performance could be better. It's a bit slow."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."
"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and 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 pricing could be a bit lower."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"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."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"The price was fine."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
