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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."

"Traps is quite a stable product. Once it was properly deployed and configured, you have nothing to be worried about."

"I can highlight that we have not faced any security incidents with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, and even though our environment is quite dynamic, we have not faced any security incident with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks until now."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."

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

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."

"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"During the PoC, we figured out that this product is far better, and it met our requirements."

"We use CrowdStrike Falcon for discovery when anything goes wrong because it gives us a full history of what's happening."

"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."

"CrowdStrike has a much lower rate of false positives than Cylance and the dashboard makes it easier to use."

"The detection and response have been excellent overall."

"The biggest advantage of this solution for my customers is that it is a single solution that fulfills most of their security concerns while being easy to manage."

"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."

"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

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

Cons

"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."

"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."

"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."

"The price could be a little lower."

"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."

"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."

"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow."

"The management of the solution could improve."

"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."

"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The solution needs improvement in stability."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

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

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."

"The price of the product is not very economical."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."

"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."

"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."

"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 would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."

"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is moderate."

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