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.

Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security
The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"What I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is that it is a comprehensive solution that contains everything the organization may need when using endpoints."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"Cyberattack detection is very good, we use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware, and it is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"We can protect against the worst level of attacks."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."
"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"I am very happy with CrowdStrike Falcon because it does not use a lot of resources in the endpoint, it's a lightweight solution."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"While using Cortex, I noticed some aspects that could be improved, such as increasing the synchronization speed between XDR and Xnor."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"Improvement could be made in the number of false positives we get, there are more than there needs to be."
"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The stability of the solution varies, several weeks ago I had some difficulties deploying CrowdStrike."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"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."
"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"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."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"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."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
