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

"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"Implementing Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has had a significant impact on my security analyst workload because it becomes much easier."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"The stability of this product is very good."

"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."

"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."

"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."

"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."

"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The convenience has been great."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"The solution is stable."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"I have faced some issues with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks; there is room for improvement in the sense that certain options prevent us from seeing and segregating data."

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"There are some false positives."

"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."

"Although all the preventive controls were enabled in the CS falcon dashboard, CS falcon had raised a red flag regarding fileless execution, however, the moment it let us know our system got encrypted."

"With CrowdStrike, we have found that there are a few missed detections. We would not say it is completely reliable or 100% reliable, however, the ratio of missed detection is more in CrowdStrike."

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."

"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."

"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"User management could be improved."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"The interface is slow."
