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.

Easy to setup, highly stable and scalable and efficiently tracks threat actors and analyze their tactics
We use Group-IB Threat Intelligence to help us with threat hunting, incident response, and vulnerability management We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable. We are able to use these features to track threat actors and analyze their tactics, techniques, and procedures…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One major outcome our organization achieved with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a good tool for analysis, remediation, and incident response, with no negative points in terms of budget and overall effectiveness."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by providing more advanced telemetry, faster response times, and better intelligence to identify anomalies in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"The flexibility and always-on protection that is provided by a cloud-based solution are important to us; the cloud is everywhere, so with the agent on the laptop, wherever the user may go, including home, office, or traveling, it's protected 24x7, all the time."
"We've had security incidents that occurred and within a matter of just a couple of minutes, they were completely remediated and fixed and we didn't even have to think about it."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon differentiates itself from other cybersecurity platforms I have used because there is so much data consolidated into one tool, along with various features and additional tools I can integrate."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
 

Cons

"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"The deployment is pretty hard."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"Limited remote connection."
"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"Customer support with CrowdStrike is very poor; they often respond with scripted answers, as it has become an AI chat support system."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved as I have the Agent DKAI, the new feature that I would like to explore more; however, sometimes there is so much data that it becomes difficult to navigate through it and find the exact information I am looking for."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."
"Very costly product."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"Threat Intelligence is costly, but it gives value for money."
"The pricing is alright. It's right on the mark."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence's pricing is reasonable."
