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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support

The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The level of security I get for my endpoints and servers is extremely valuable."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."

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

"The normal protection was really effective, and we detected situations that if we didn't have Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it's highly likely that we would have been affected, but it protected the infrastructure."

"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."

"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"This product has worked flawlessly to prevent breaches, and then it has allowed us to prevent any downtime."

"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."

"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has provided significantly more visibility than previous tools I used, as well as a more streamlined management of exceptions."

"It is very useful for endpoint protection and stopping data breaches, and that's its real strength."

"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."

"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."

"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."

"We compared multiple solutions in EDR and out of them, CrowdStrike gave the most features and value for money."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The update process and policy control are good."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

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

"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."

"I am facing issues with customer support for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so I am not satisfied with customer support."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"The price could be a little lower."

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

"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."

"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."

"We struggle to get specialized resources from CrowdStrike in a few cases."

"The only downside is trying to figure out all the agents or all of the machines that do not have CrowdStrike Falcon on them, unlike SentinelOne which has a feature for that, along with a feature where you can roll back to detect ransomware if you ever get ransomware."

"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."

"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"User management could be improved."

"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."

"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."

"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."

"Very costly product."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"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."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."

"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."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."

"We are at about $60,000 per year."

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""

"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"The license isn't expensive."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
