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

"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"I've found the solution to be highly scalable for enterprises."
"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is very useful for endpoint protection and stopping data breaches, and that's its real strength."
"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing good protection, logs, and reports, which I find very good."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The EDR feature of CrowdStrike is fantastic."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is the best endpoint protection solution I've used so far."
"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."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"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."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell."
"Not being able to complete the deployment in an efficient manner is one of the huge weaknesses."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"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."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"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."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
