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

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."

"The tool is easy to use."

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

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"The initial setup is easy."

"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."

"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."

"We can protect against the worst level of attacks."

"The threat intelligence on offer is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."

"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

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

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The convenience has been great."

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

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

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

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

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

"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."

"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

"There are some false positives."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."

"Improvement could be made in the number of false positives we get, there are more than there needs to be."

"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."

"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."

"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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."

"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."

"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"This is an expensive solution."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

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

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"The return on investment is from the user side because we have seen the performance of it increase the delivery time of the product if we are using too many web-based and on-premise applications. In indirect ways, we saw the return of investment in terms of performance and user satisfaction increase."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
