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.

An easy-to-implement solution that provides good reporting features and protects users’ AD infrastructure
We use Tenable Identity Exposure for our customers who have legacy AD still in use to see any exposure and protect their AD infrastructure as much as possible The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great. From the start, you get to see the exposure of your AD. So, it doesn't need…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"My advice for others looking into using Cortex is that it is very easy to use and very useful for the customer environment, whether it's a public or private one."
"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."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"The solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"So far, in the past three years, they've been absolutely great."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"The primary way that CrowdStrike has improved the way our organization functions is visibility, and when we do have an issue, the ability to see what was happening before, during, and after the issue on the target laptop or server is far better than what we were used to."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"Managing the product should be easier."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve its user interface, which is more complicated compared to competitors such as SentinelOne."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"As of now, CrowdStrike Falcon does not have application control and web control."
"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."
"Our customers have expressed that the price is high."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"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 price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"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."
