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.

AI-powered discovery enhances threat visibility while customer support excels
I am a reseller. One of our customers suffered an attack a few months ago, and they discovered that they have some data available on the deep and dark web. The biggest driver for using ThreatMon was takedown services. SIEM integration into their incident response was also essential. They wanted…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is specifically designed to prevent zero-day attacks and is part of an ecosystem of Palo Alto, providing customers with a long-term vision to modify and redesign how security is applied in their company."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"The tool is designed to scale for large enterprises and handle large volumes of data."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"There has been a significant reduction of approximately 70% to 80% in our internal MTTR and MTTD metrics, now around five to eight minutes whereas previously it was hours, which has helped tremendously."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable."
"Palo Alto is the core of the security infrastructure in the environment."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"It allows us to determine root cause, do the analysis, a lot quicker."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The product is really good, but there is a lot of additional features that you need to have for it to be a complete solution."
"The solution offers great stability."
"We have signed up for Falcon Complete, which is their completely managed service, and this has done nothing but paid dividends since we have rolled it out."
"CrowdStrike Falcon features are robust and reliable."
"We receive good ROI when using this solution."
"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"Machine learning or AI discovery, which discovers our resources on the deep and dark web, has been very useful."
"I would recommend ThreatMon."
 

Cons

"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"Based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"There's an overall lack of features."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"This solution lacks basic functionality, such as being able to perform on-demand scanning."
"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"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."
"The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"We are looking at a better pricing model to onboard as many customers as possible."
"ThreatMon is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"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."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"Very costly product."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
