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 policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."

"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

"Monitoring is most valuable."

"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."

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

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."

"My advice for others is to purchase the solution it is simple to use and effective."

"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is the best endpoint protection solution I've used so far."

"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."

"All the features are beneficial."

"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."

"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

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

"The convenience has been great."

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"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."

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There are some false positives."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

"The price could be a little lower."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"This is a very costly product."

"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a strong tool, but it is true that digesting information sometimes makes the tool go a little bit slower."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."

"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."

"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."

"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

"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. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."

"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"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 interface is slow."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

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

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"Very costly product."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike.
