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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Based on my experience with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, I highly recommend it due to its quick response to zero-day attacks and low utilization from end-user devices."

"It's a perfect solution. It integrates well into the environment."

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."

"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"The integrations are out-of-the-box, as are the playbooks."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."

"It is very useful for endpoint protection and stopping data breaches, and that's its real strength."

"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."

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

"We don't need to maintain onsite servers and deep end user updates with the new vulnerabilities."

"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."

"We have signed up for Falcon Complete, which is their completely managed service, and this has done nothing but paid dividends since we have rolled it out."

"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The convenience has been great."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"The update process and policy control are good."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

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

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

"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."

"This is a very costly product."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

"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."

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."

"Forensic controls have room for improvement."

"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."

"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."

"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."

"The main complaint that myself and leadership have about CrowdStrike Falcon is that the cost has become expensive compared to competitors."

"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."

"With CrowdStrike, we have found that there are a few missed detections. We would not say it is completely reliable or 100% reliable, however, the ratio of missed detection is more in CrowdStrike."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"It has a yearly renewal."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
