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.

Integrated device protection has secured bios-level threats and preserves user performance
The features of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro that I appreciate most are the real-time analytics in CrowdStrike and the ability to detect anomalies in the computer at the BIOS level, which is excellent to have. You would not normally see that with standard antivirus or regular security software; it would not integrate with the BIOS, but the fact that it does means that you get an enhanced layer of protection with CrowdStrike, more than you would see with another product. My perception of chip-level recovery is that it is a beautiful thing. Normally you are dependent on the OS for recovery actions, but in this case, you do not need that because it happens at the chip level. It happens out of band, before the OS is booted; you can make recovery choices, and that is extremely important. You always need an out of band solution, and on end user devices especially, if that is possible, that changes the whole landscape. Normally out of band is only for server-level devices, but this changes that; this adds an extra layer of protection that you would not normally see. I view the critical feature of Advanced Memory Scanning by CrowdStrike as incredible; the fact that it can actively scan memory without any performance hit on the PC or server devices is remarkable. Previously, in years before 2020, we would see a performance hit from this type of software, but the fact that CrowdStrike integrated with Dell does not cause any performance hit on the end user or the overall performance of the computer is an amazing thing. It is probably the best performing antivirus software I have actually seen.

Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks saves time in various ways, although the user interface is fairly standard."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has done a great job in governance and security, as the solution really strengthens our security stack as well as our security posture and delivers clear operational benefits, showing us a good measurable business impact."
"The fact that CrowdStrike and Dell have gotten to a point where it has no user effect, or virtually zero user effect, is absolutely game-changing."
"Based on Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro's capability, my organization benefits from improved endpoint visibility, faster threat detection and response, stronger hardware-level protection, and reduced time spent troubleshooting devices through remote management, which helps reduce security risk and improve operational efficiency."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has helped us immensely."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro stood out because it combines endpoint security with advanced levels of security and remote management capabilities, providing a more complete approach to securing and managing devices."
"If you are considering protecting your Dell endpoints and your Dell infrastructure with CrowdStrike, it is a no-brainer."
"The features of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro that I like the most include its ability to recover quickly."
"Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has positively impacted my organization, as when Falcon detects a threat, it is completely true with no false positives."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

Cons

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth."
"The negative aspect I see is the economic model used by Palo Alto."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"However, if you do not have Palo Alto in your environment, you are paying these additional services just for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, so it is not a cost-effective solution."
"As for improvements for Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro, there is currently no better support for mixed-vendor devices—if it is Dell, it is fine, but for other devices, the support is not that great."
"A more simplified onboarding process and easier configuration for smaller IT teams would be helpful."
"Improvements needed for Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro include handling some legal applications better, as Falcon is blocking some legal, small applications, and it would be beneficial if they could increase their application database."
"The room for improvement that I would recommend to make it a 10 is that it might be beneficial to scale out to include servers."
"I would like to improve the false positive and false negative rates of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro, see a simpler deployment and configuration, more customizable dashboards, broader integration with third-party security and IT tools, continued improvement in reducing false positives, and more detailed documentation and guided troubleshooting for administrators."
"The biggest thing I would do to improve Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro is add that agentic AI to it at the highest level and allow it to start to deploy and do things ourselves."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is not very economical."
"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"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 price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
