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.

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

"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR is its ability to detect all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it can integrate with Palo Alto Firewall."
"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."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud. It makes it better to use for everybody. It allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security. This sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"The positive impacts I see from Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks include a complete 360-degree view of our security posture altogether, being a uniform platform where we are ingesting logs from multiple resources."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"SEP, the entire suite of components, provides good endpoint protection."
"Protection from viruses, malware, Trojans, and malicious files is most valuable. It is also good in terms of application control. I can control the type of external media that can be connected with endpoint devices and protect them from malicious files and devices such as USB."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The most valuable feature is that I don't feel that it is there."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"With this solution, you also get the Protection Suite, endpoint protection, SEP, and you also have the Mail Security and Messaging Gateway."
"It is a very good product."
"It is one of the best products out there."
 

Cons

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It's more focused on network communication. If a customer wants to increase the level of protection and start working with documents, it's impossible to integrate these features into the system. It's more of a communication-oriented system than a content security-oriented system."
"When it comes to malware files, it should be a little quick because, at times, it would give a wrong result in the sense of what it might be on malware, even if it still might be a normal one."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The interface is slow."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"Overall, the price could be reduced."
"The solution could be more secure and scalable."
"The artificial intelligence of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security could be better."
"The client agent is not stable. I have to keep fixing it on four to five percent."
"Symantec has not properly promoted Symantec Endpoint Security in the market."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better; it is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
