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.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"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."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."
"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 most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted endpoint security and reduced the response time for incidents and alerts."
"We have been completely happy with the solution that we have been running on for years now and have never regretted our decision."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"We compared multiple solutions in EDR and out of them, CrowdStrike gave the most features and value for money."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"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."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
 

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"Setting up and installing CrowdStrike Falcon is not easy, so an area for improvement is for that process to be simplified."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"The performance could be better. It's a bit slow."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"User management could be improved."
"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."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
