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.

A stable solution with excellent features and a helpful technical support team
We use the solution for cyber fusion centers The product has a lot of strong points compared to other tools. The prices must be reduced. I have been using the solution for one year. I am using the latest version of the solution. I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. In my company,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has helped us a lot with securing the whole environment and the whole IT structure, giving us full knowledge of what is happening on the client and enabling us to take action right away from a single point for managing security operations on the hosts."
"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 tool is easy to use."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"CrowdStrike is excellent at preventing breaches, and our security operations are more robust as a result."
"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."
"It's not costly, and it's not constantly running, it's only looking for suspicious items when it starts to take action."
"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"The product is stable."
"The technical support team is helpful."
 

Cons

"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"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."
"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 technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon could be improved by making the interface more modern and simpler."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"Improving CrowdStrike Falcon could involve slowing down the release of sensor updates and prevention policies, as I appreciate how they release them, but if they could slow down the release, that would help us catch up."
"The tool doesn't integrate well with ServiceNow."
"The prices must be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"This is an expensive solution."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"Very costly product."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
