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

"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."

"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."

"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 most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."

"Based on my experience, I would recommend Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to other people."

"The stability of the solution is very good, we have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."

"The solution's stability is generally good."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"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."

"The solution is stable."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."

"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."

"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The firewall management and intrusion prevention are excellent; those are the critical differences between Symantec and most other products on the market, as they don't manage Windows Firewall or offer intrusion prevention."

"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."

"It is very easy to use. The user interface is friendly."

"The solution has integrated some AI tools for the automation of tasks."

"Anti-malware is the most valuable feature. We trust Symantec for protection, and we like the idea that Symantec is preventing us from accessing certain websites that are known for containing malware."

"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are the proactive threat protection and the normal spyware protection which they offer in addition to catching standard threats. It all works well for us even without an EDR."

"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."

"This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability."

More Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise pros

Cons

"A little bit more automation would be nice."

"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."

"The setup is quite easy. We had appropriate support from the manager. One thing that was missing was the integration part."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"One thing that was missing was the integration part. Currently, they don't have out-of-box integration with IBM QRadar, or if they have the integration, the integration doesn't work well."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"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."

"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing. This is what the other vendors are doing, such as CrowdStrike. They offer Endpoint Protection(EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response(EDR) in the same product. If Symantec had something similar, it would be good for customers, they would not need to purchase two different products and then integrate them. They can have a single agent doing two tasks."

"Unlike traditional tools, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise does not provide trigger alerts based on user behavior-based traffic."

"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to be a stable product, but now that aspect needs improvement. They also used to provide good technical support, but now not so much, so that needs improvement."

"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution."

"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."

"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing."

"The solution's browser protection in Chrome needs to be improved, as it's the most troublesome aspect of the tool. I have two devices where the browser protection failed, an issue that has yet to be fixed for two months. When updates occur, the client restarts, and the browser protection for Chrome malfunctions. Broadcom needs to improve their ability to hijack a browser session to filter web traffic because that's important, as well as site blocking. This element is missing in the product; most companies have firewalls with web content filtering to prevent employees from accessing specific sites."

"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."

More Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"I feel it is fairly priced."

"I am using the Community edition."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"The license isn't expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."

"The product is not very expensive."

"I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two out of ten."

"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."

"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."

"The solution's license is very expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."

"It's not the cheapest, but it's reasonably priced, around a five on a scale from one to ten. It's suitable for small, medium, and enterprise businesses and offers competitive pricing. There are no additional costs; it's a renewable purchase, either annually or as needed."
