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.

Behavior analytics has improved insider threat detection and reduces false positives for our team
The best features LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] offers are its behavioral balancing, baselining, risk scoring, and correlation with SIEM events, and what stands out most is risk scoring, which gives clear visibility into which user behaviors are genuinely risky and helps our team to focus on the highest priority threats without drowning in noise. Risk scoring helps us to quickly identify which users' activity needs immediate attention by clearly ranking threats based on impact and likelihood; it changes our day-to-day operations by reducing time spent on low-risk alerts and allowing the team to prioritize investigations and response actions more effectively and consistently. LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence. I observed a noticeable reduction in false positive alert volume, which shortened the investigation time per incident, improving the mean time to detect and respond, and helping identify high-risk user activities earlier, which prevented potential security incidents from escalating.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"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."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"When the pandemic started, Palo Alto came up with many solutions, which helped with the quick shift from on-premises to the cloud."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon features are robust and reliable."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"The solution is very scalable; our proof of concept was a few devices and now at full scale we have 50,000 devices, and because it's a cloud console, if you do the implementation right and the sensor is put on in an automated process, it doesn't matter how many computers you have, it just runs."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"I like its detection capabilities, number one."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"Overall, this is a really good product and I recommend it."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"The solution eats memory of the computer, unlike anything I've ever seen."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"In reporting they should have a customizable dashboard due to the fact that C-level people don't like reporting to the IT department. They prefer to have a real-time dashboard. That kind of dashboard needs to have various customizations."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection."
"The management and log aggregation need some improvement."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."
"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."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"We're now exploring the cloud version but unfortunately we've found that they are lagging in that space."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"Better dashboarding. At the moment, the dashboard only has an hour."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."
"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."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"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."
"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 cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
