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 solution's stability is generally good."

"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"It integrates well into the environment."

"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."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"I am very happy with CrowdStrike Falcon because it does not use a lot of resources in the endpoint, it's a lightweight solution."

"In general, we feel more secure knowing that we are not relying on multiple different technologies to provide a different kind of protection."

"CrowdStrike Falcon features are robust and reliable."

"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."

"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."

"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."

"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"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."

"In general, the price could be more competitive."

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."

"There's an overall lack of features."

"Product might have some bugs."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The management of the solution could improve."

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."

"The pricing is a bit too high."

"We sometimes get false positives."

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."

"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."

"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

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

"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 could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"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."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"The tool's price is moderate."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

"The license isn't expensive."

"It is a cheaply priced product."
