Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome. That is pretty much the use of it. What blows your mind is the ability to access your assets remotely and see what is actually going on with them. You can not only see them in a console. You can also react very rapidly to your assets that are compromised."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"This product has worked flawlessly to prevent breaches, and then it has allowed us to prevent any downtime."
"There are great security features on offer that are much better than other options in India at this time."
"The biggest advantage of this solution for my customers is that it is a single solution that fulfills most of their security concerns while being easy to manage."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is able to identify threats based on processes, rather than looking at signatures and this is what I like about this solution."
"The tool provides remote protection using a console or installation console along with email security."
"Seqrite Antivirus is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."
"Not being able to complete the deployment in an efficient manner is one of the huge weaknesses."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The performance could be better. It's a bit slow."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"Too many false positives."
"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."
"Seqrite Antivirus could support antivirus software when the user's device is offline."
"The solution needs improvement in stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Very costly product."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"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 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 not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"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."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"Seqrite Antivirus' licensing costs are yearly. I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
