Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 8, 2026

Seqrite Endpoint Security and Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are strong contenders in the endpoint security category. Symantec holds the upper hand due to its advanced threat detection capabilities powered by machine learning and AI.

Features: Seqrite offers asset management, fast deployment, and external device protection. Its ransomware backup restoration and data loss prevention (DLP) stand out. Symantec integrates machine learning for threat detection, strong firewall management, and real-time monitoring, along with anti-malware and anti-ransomware capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Seqrite needs to enhance its ransomware detection, stability, and Apple integration. Monitoring and reporting features require improvements. Symantec should focus on user-friendliness, particularly in dashboard customization, and better optimize for Mac environments. It also needs to improve cloud platform integration and endpoint features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Seqrite facilitates smooth deployment across on-premises and hybrid environments but has mixed support reviews with reports of delayed assistance. Symantec ensures reliable deployment across cloud frameworks and maintains structured online support, though sometimes criticized for slow response.

Pricing and ROI: Seqrite is cost-effective for small to medium enterprises, offering robust features at lower costs than larger competitors. Its licensing is economical and delivers significant ROI. Symantec, viewed as a premium product, justifies higher costs with a comprehensive feature set, offering licensing flexibility potentially saving costs for diverse endpoint needs.

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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has accelerated the response time for my security team, so we have been able to resolve issues faster than usual."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"Stability is one of the features we like the most."

"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."

"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."

"Cortex covers everything I need. It's a perfect solution. Cortex provides a different level of visibility because it's an extended EDR, allowing you to grab logs from the network and firewalls. Palo Alto invented the concept of the extended EDR or XDR."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

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

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

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

"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."

"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 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."

"The solution is stable with good customer service."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"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."

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

"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."

More Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise pros

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."

"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

"There are some false positives."

"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

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

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

"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."

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

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

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"The product must develop some virus definition features."

"I don't see any specific areas for improvement. They are knowledgeable about advanced solutions, so no suggestions from my end. Maybe there are minor enhancements, like improving UI features or dashboards, but overall, the product is well-designed. As for additional features, I hope they incorporate Kipops, specifically AI functionality, in the next release of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."

"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."

"The solution's management dashboard could be improved. An easier-to-use threat-hunting dashboard would make life easier for security analysts. Its support needs to improve for the African region."

"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."

"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."

"Customers are uncertain about the modern protection features compared to competitors such as ThreatDown, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne."

"The scanning area of the product should be made a little faster as it is the only area of concern in the tool where improvements are required."

More Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"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."

"I am using the Community edition."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

"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 licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."

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

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

"The license isn't expensive."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"The tool fits within our budget. It is not expensive."

"We have Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise, and it's very competitively priced. However, there is a considerable jump in price for upgrading to the EDR, so that's more compatible with enterprise-level organizations."

"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."

"The solution's license is very expensive."

"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."

"The price of the solution is very low. There is an annual subscription to use the 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."

"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."
