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

"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"It improves a lot of our security operations for threat management, and it provides a lot for our day-to-day operations too."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"This product has worked flawlessly to prevent breaches, and then it has allowed us to prevent any downtime."
"It does everything that it claims, making our life significantly easier."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has been very low maintenance."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The convenience has been great."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"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 solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"There are some false positives."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The interface is slow."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was fine."
"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"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."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
"The license isn't expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
