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.

Can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively

Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools. Before, we struggled with setting policies and making changes to workstations. Now, we can automate updates and manage software licenses more effectively. We monitor who's using various licenses like Office, CAD, Visio, and Lumion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."

"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."

"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by helping stop many breaches, and they are very good at alerting and following and escalating during critical alerts."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats because instead of using telemetry recovered from multiple endpoints in different formats, we now have visibility across the entire network using only CrowdStrike telemetry."

"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as they get more indicators and everything related to the alert in the same place, which is fantastic."

"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."

"CrowdStrike is very easy to set up."

"Cyberattack detection is very good, we use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware, and it is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has a ransom detection time of less than 50 seconds."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Our team uses the SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform for threat detection, focusing on features like vulnerabilities and asset exposure. The asset exposure feature is packaged with software licenses and machines. We get the latest updates and patches for Windows workstations and applications for remediation. We can automate these updates, which greatly improves our previous manual and scripting-based tools."

"Although it is, in fact, a complete vulnerability management solution, the most valuable feature is the patch management functionality. Most of our customers give preference to this tool over other tools when it comes to patch management."

Cons

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."

"On the pricing aspect, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks needs to have a more reasonable rate, particularly for customers in Sri Lanka and Asian countries."

"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."

"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."

"The encryption is not up to the mark."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."

"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."

"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."

"I find that it sometimes takes too much performance on our notebooks, so it is sometimes slow."

"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."

"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform needs to incorporate more documentation."

"SanerNow has good integration with the more well known ITSM tools, but at the same time there are many other ITSM (IT Service Management) tools available in the market, including local tools here in India, and I'm not sure how SanerNow plans to integrate with them all out of the box."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Very costly product."

"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 pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."

"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"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."

"The price was fine."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

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

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"As with several other solutions such as Microsoft MECM and SCCM, the licensing for SanerNow involves per-device pricing for each kind of product or service on offer."

"The pricing is reasonable - we paid about 2.5 million for 3,500 nodes."
