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.

A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The solution allows control over the user and his machine through Cortex XDR security policies."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The resetting option and creating a password is a very useful on-the-go feature, which gives a user a good experience, obviously a hassle-free experience."
"Their technical support is actually quite good."
"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"It does everything that it claims, making our life significantly easier."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"Knock on wood, between our management of the platform and having subscribed to Falcon Overwatch, the managed threat hunting service, I haven't had a concern in six years."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The EDR feature of CrowdStrike is fantastic."
 

Cons

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"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."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
