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

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"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. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The best feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it collects logs from different sections such as the endpoint, the network, and the cloud, making it easy to investigate alerts, collect some of the investigation packages related to the infected machines, and provide live response."
"The ability to kind of stitch everything together and see the actual complete picture is very useful. I guess you'd call it a playbook. Some people call it the forensics analysis of what was happening on particular endpoints when they detected some malicious behavior, and what transpired before that to cause that. It is also very user friendly. The way they have done everything and integrated all the solutions that they've purchased over the years to make it a very seamless, effective product is very good. One thing about Palo Alto is that they take the products or services that they purchase and make them seamless for the end user as compared to some companies that purchase other companies and then just kind of have their products off to the side or keep different interfaces. Palo Alto doesn't do that."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"The most beneficial part is the active response capability of the product."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"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."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
 

Cons

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"Product might have some bugs."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"The complexity and confusion regarding product variants, such as XDR, Forexiant, and Forexon, must be addressed."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."
"The price is too high."
"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."
"User management could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The interface is slow."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"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."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"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."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
