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.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization

Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."

"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."

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

"The initial setup isn't too bad."

"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."

"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."

"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."

"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It is an easy product to deploy."

"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"Probably the most valuable thing to me is the real-time response piece. The fact that I can connect to an endpoint as long as it is on the Internet, no matter where it is globally. I can remove files from the endpoint, drop files on the endpoint, stop processes, reboot it, run custom scripts, and deploy software. Pretty much no other tool can do all that."

"The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM."

"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."

"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."

"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."

Cons

"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."

"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"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."

"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."

"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."

"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."

"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."

"The solution needs improvement in stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

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

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"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."

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

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

"There is no license required to use this solution."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."

"The pricing is moderate."
