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

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"The stability of the solution is very good, we have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"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."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"The most beneficial part is the active response capability of the product."
"The platform is very scalable."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is able to identify threats based on processes, rather than looking at signatures and this is what I like about this solution."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"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 overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"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 two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"This is a very costly product."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"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 console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"Setting up and installing CrowdStrike Falcon is not easy, so an area for improvement is for that process to be simplified."
"The performance could be better."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
