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.

Easy to setup, highly stable and scalable and efficiently tracks threat actors and analyze their tactics
We use Group-IB Threat Intelligence to help us with threat hunting, incident response, and vulnerability management We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable. We are able to use these features to track threat actors and analyze their tactics, techniques, and procedures…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can use Cortex XDR to get the entire graph of the incidents from source to destination, and we can take remedial action."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Since using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, our MTTR has reduced, which means the mean time to resolve any ticket has been reduced."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"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."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has provided significantly more visibility than previous tools I used, as well as a more streamlined management of exceptions."
"The value I see in having endpoint, identity, cloud, and other security telemetry brought together in CrowdStrike Falcon is that I can follow the entire history and better recognize attack paths instead of just seeing individual events."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"Everything you need to know is right there in a single dashboard."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"The scalability is good."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"Threat Intelligence's best feature is threat activation."
"The most valuable Group-IB Threat Intelligence features are their detections, especially in terms of account and card information leakage. This data sets Group-IB apart from some of the competition."
"The cost of the solution versus the cost of an incident that may have been prevented with it shows a very high ROI."
"Threat Intelligence is very stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the sandbox."
"We have found the site intelligence features to be the most valuable."
"The totality of the recordings is quite important. The networks, the new threat actors, the new methods, tactics, techniques, and procedures."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"To jump from the partner to Palo Alto directly was challenging."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Whenever the tool releases a new version when deploying the product across the organization, I feel like there are some disturbances in the CPU usage after upgrading the tool to the latest version."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"The initial challenge was getting used to the UI, which can feel overwhelming with many windows, especially when contracting more than one module at the same time."
"There are a few features that could be added, as mentioned."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon is improving really well, with new topics in the newsletter every day, but there should be more API integrations for the last 20% of onboarding."
"Customer support with CrowdStrike is very poor; they often respond with scripted answers, as it has become an AI chat support system."
"To improve CrowdStrike Falcon, I think the UI is dreadful."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence should improve integration for SIEM and SOAR solutions."
"Threat Intelligence's OT security could be improved."
"The web intelligence could be improved. It is not as good as the intelligence from other solutions."
"The lack of appliance-based or on-premise options for this solution is its biggest downfall. Clients request them often."
"As the landscape evolves, they could provide a little more detail or specificity to map it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"Threat Intelligence is costly, but it gives value for money."
"Group-IB Threat Intelligence's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is alright. It's right on the mark."
