Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response
There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

A stable solution with excellent features and a helpful technical support team
We use the solution for cyber fusion centers The product has a lot of strong points compared to other tools. The prices must be reduced. I have been using the solution for one year. I am using the latest version of the solution. I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. In my company,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"The interface is easy to use and it is more up to date than our previous solution."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"It does everything that it claims, making our life significantly easier."
"We can protect against the worst level of attacks."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has affected the workload or productivity of my security team considerably better, because now I have visibility of what is happening within the organization from an identity perspective and a security perspective."
"The product is stable."
"The technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"Product might have some bugs."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"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."
"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved in that the UI takes a little bit to understand where to go and how to get there."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The prices must be reduced."
"The tool doesn't integrate well with ServiceNow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The price is too high."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"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."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
