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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monitoring is most valuable."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"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."
"We receive good ROI when using this solution."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"CrowdStrike is excellent at preventing breaches, and our security operations are more robust as a result."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has been very low maintenance."
"Positively, we have been able to successfully maintain compliance within all of our security obligations within our industry, have had next to zero downtime outside of larger widespread problems, which has allowed us to remain secure on all of our endpoints and be able to conduct business with a lot less worry, and we have also been able to improve our response speed to potential threats and infiltrations into the firm, as well as hardening those areas and offering faster and more effective remediation methods based on the data found from CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
 

Cons

"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"Limited remote connection."
"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."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The main complaint that myself and leadership have about CrowdStrike Falcon is that the cost has become expensive compared to competitors."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of CrowdStrike Falcon as being awesome, other than the great CrowdStriking. I have experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"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 product is expensive."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Annual licensing."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
