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.

Provides comprehensive threat insights but needs more defensive playbooks
For Trellix Insights, there are both positive and negative aspects. Playbooks is a very good feature. We have about 12 Playbooks, which are actions that we can implement for adjusting the infrastructure to stop threats and vulnerabilities. That's the positive aspect. However, for the defensive Playbooks, when connecting with Trellix Insights, we have only one defensive Playbook. Some customers question why there is only one. While Playbooks and defensive Playbooks serve similar purposes, in Trellix Insights, defensive Playbooks appear at the top. It would be beneficial to have more than just one defensive Playbook. Trellix Insights has existed for many years, and since this new product was released, there has only been one defensive Playbook. This is an area that needs improvement. They need to add more defensive Playbooks quickly, considering many years have passed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted my organization by providing better visibility, host management, compliance, and real-time responses."
"CrowdStrike has a much lower rate of false positives than Cylance and the dashboard makes it easier to use."
"The best features CrowdStrike Falcon offers are the speed that it detects anomalies at and allows me to respond quickly."
"All the features are beneficial."
"We just moved over from McAfee to CrowdStrike, which detected a lot of things that McAfee did not."
"We compared multiple solutions in EDR and out of them, CrowdStrike gave the most features and value for money."
"The solution is very scalable; our proof of concept was a few devices and now at full scale we have 50,000 devices, and because it's a cloud console, if you do the implementation right and the sensor is put on in an automated process, it doesn't matter how many computers you have, it just runs."
"The most important benefit of Trellix Insights is its capability to integrate with EPO and provide comprehensive information."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by offering remote management. It would be useful to look at the client's issue to fix it."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"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."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"So far, the benefits I have seen from having multiple security capabilities on a single platform have been limited, but based on the testing, we see that it is identifying threats and it has shown us proactive capabilities to shut down the threats."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."
"It would be beneficial to have more than just one defensive Playbook. Trellix Insights has existed for many years, and since this new product was released, there has only been one defensive Playbook."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 don't like that they have different types of licenses."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Very costly product."
"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."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"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."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
