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.

Provides stable and resource-efficient protection but lacks clear modern security features
Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is highly compatible and rarely causes disruptions in production. It operates transparently and is easy to maintain. The automated response feature helps to mitigate breaches effectively. When comparing with ThreatDown agent, I have noticed that ThreatDown detects behaviors more readily and flags suspicious user activities more clearly. While Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise remains effective, ThreatDown's user interface is more manageable and provides a clearer system overview. The management interface is crucial for maintaining Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise effectively. A significant advantage of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is its lightweight resource usage. It consumes less memory, CPU, and IO compared to alternatives such as ThreatDown and Bitdefender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"I have found the solution to be very easy in respect of the integration and configurable."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise’s interface is good to use."
"We rely on Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise to safeguard our computer systems from malware. Occasionally, we have encountered issues related to antivirus or malware, but overall, the application has been instrumental in addressing these concerns."
"What I appreciate the most about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the integration with the workstations and the around-the-clock monitoring."
"Since I joined the company and implemented Symantec and other products, we've had stability on our network and no security incidents or breaches."
"The best feature is the firewall that lets us allow or block ports. That's a great tool because we can limit specific types of traffic on user devices and apply granular security controls to IPs and ports."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
 

Cons

"Managing the product should be easier."
"The solution should add unwanted malicious hash values to a block list so that whenever the action is triggered, it will automatically prevent the malicious content."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"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 could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"Though the product is good, it is not very easy to use."
"In the future, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should improve the firewall and documentation."
"An area for improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise would be its firewall features, in particular, this solution needs to provide more control over the firewall."
"The solution needs to be marketed to more consumers so that they will use it."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing."
"The product is a bit resource-intensive."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to be a stable product, but in the last three years, it went from excellent to poor, in terms of stability."
"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The price of the solution is very low. There is an annual subscription to use the solution."

"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"The solution's license is very expensive."
"If you have a variety of different endpoints, including heavily protected endpoints and some endpoints that are in the field, Symantec allows you to apply different licensing so you don't have to put everything under Endpoint Complete."
"The cost of the solution is reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. For most organizations, the cost is between 70 and 100 dollars per user. The exact price depends on the selected features and the number of users. It's considered a premium cost for an enterprise Endpoint security solution."
"I would rate it a seven, indicating a satisfactory and moderate level. Despite being somewhat on the expensive side, it aligns with our long-standing relationship with Symantec, and we find it acceptable."
