ABHISHEK_SINGH - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.
Rishad Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Security Engineer at Exprezer Infotech
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.
PetriRajama - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead of IT at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Has provided strong security foundations but struggles with integration and ongoing compatibility issues
It had its problems. They were rebuilding it while having the old functionality and new functionality layered on top of each other. They were migrating the functionalities to the new solution, which caused significant problems. The mobile device management was not unified with the other endpoint management, creating structural issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"Palo Alto is one of the tech vendors that always provides top-of-the-line products."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"In one single alert, we are getting the network telemetry, endpoint telemetry, email security telemetry, and proxy telemetry all in one single ticket, making it very easy."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"The feature I like the most is the Adaptive Protection... And it does not negatively affect users' activities because we can adapt it and allow binaries that are executed regularly, while forbidding those that are not executed within the company."
"With this solution, we haven't had any attacks, every malicious activity is blocked and monitored, and we can integrate it with our SIEM to efficiently manage and monitor all activity."
"Security Complete comes with antivirus plus EDR, which is a convergence of antivirus and EDR."
"The solution's most important feature is its reliability. It is not heavy on the workstation."
 

Cons

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"For working with the solution, you only really need a web browser, however, we've found that working on Chrome, for example, is horrible."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"When it comes to core analysis, and security analysis, Cortex needs to provide more information."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."
"I would like to see improvements to URL filtering, URL filtering IPS, and any URL."
"Based on experience with Symantec Endpoint Security Complete, it would rate as a seven."
"The solution is a pretty expensive product. While it provides good service, considering the price, it is hard to tell about the benefits."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"Installing Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not as straightforward as the Bitdefender installation; I find the installation of this product really cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is present, but when compared to other competitive products, I would say it is not less expensive; however, when all of the other added values are considered, the price is reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"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 cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
