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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Management becomes easier with minimal complications, but improvement in support tools needed

Regarding areas of improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security, there are many changes, and the support portal tool is complicated compared to other tools. When trying to get service from Symantec, the process is complex. I'm not sure whether it's because of my project or something else. Though it is easy to manage, easy to get, easy to install, and works efficiently for managing policies, we faced a significant disadvantage. We wanted to add multiple hashes because of numerous new alerts coming, but we could only add them one by one, which is a considerable disadvantage in Symantec.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."

"The product is mostly automated, and we do not have to make decisions, because all the decisions are made by the product itself and we are not required to create any custom policies since the policies that are created are well defined in the product itself."

"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"It is a simple platform to use."

"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution installs very easily."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."

"The solution is easy to manage."

"The solution is easy to use"

"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."

"The solution is easy to use."

"This solution protects us and we do not get any viruses, so this can be considered the return on our investment."

"Simply put, it is the one product that's an integrated holistic solution for the whole security suite for an endpoint."

"In my personal experience, most people use Symantec, and in my whole life, I couldn't find any problems with Symantec."

More Symantec Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"There are a large number of false positives."

"It is not very strong in terms of endpoint management. It should have additional features like DLP, encryption, or advanced device control. Currently, Cortex is good in terms of the security of the endpoints, but it is not as good as other vendors in terms of the management of the endpoint."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good."

"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."

"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."

"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"I'd advise users to be aware that there are better solutions out there than this. That's what happened here. I'd rate the solution one out of ten."

"It can be improved in terms of features and integration. It should have more advanced features and more integration. Currently, it is just talking to their own solutions. They could add more artificial intelligence, more XDR, and more integration with other vendors so that we can do sharing of information with other vendors."

"The support can be wanting, for those reasons. Sometimes the time to resolution is longer than I would expect."

"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."

"Technical support is a bit of an issue."

"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."

"We had some issues during deployment. When doing a 40.000 McAfee migration nodes for SEP, I have faced challenges removing specific MacAfee features where SEP has no supportability."

"The management of the server is a bit complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Cortex XDR is a costly solution."

"The pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."

"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."

"The price was fine."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"I’d say SEP deserves the money."

"We have some customers on a one-year license and others on a three-year license."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Symantec Endpoint Security is an expensive solution."

"Pricing and licensing for our country is very good. It's not that expensive and the endpoint security is very good. It's not as cheap as some others, but they are not as good."

"The pricing was one of the factors that led us to choose this product."

"Symantec is expensive."

"This is not the cheapest product and I know others that are most cost-effective, although it is difficult to compare because it depends on the features."
