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.

Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security
The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Cortex XDR is stable, offering high quality and reliable performance."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"The primary way that CrowdStrike has improved the way our organization functions is visibility, and when we do have an issue, the ability to see what was happening before, during, and after the issue on the target laptop or server is far better than what we were used to."
"My advice for others is to purchase the solution it is simple to use and effective."
"It allows us to determine root cause, do the analysis, a lot quicker."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
 

Cons

"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."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"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 skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The stability of the solution varies, several weeks ago I had some difficulties deploying CrowdStrike."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
