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 lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"From the Palo Alto side, whatever they buy, they integrate that really well into their integration suite, and that makes a massive difference."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"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."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"The scalability of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very good."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The convenience has been great."
"The solution is stable."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"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."
"This was a great product at the very beginning and it has only gotten better as they've added capabilities, so I'm a very big fan."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability."
"Symantec is a little bit better at remediating or preventing things in general."
"The overall solution is good, particularly the detection engine. It performs well in identifying malware and conducting regular network scans. The product is easy to use."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is highly compatible and rarely causes disruptions in production; it operates transparently and is easy to maintain."
"The solution works well overall, you can scale the product, the solution is secure, and the product has a very good user interface."
"Stable with good customer service."
 

Cons

"The product's pricing could be better."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response)."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by providing hard disk encryption."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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 solution needs to improve stability."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"The product must develop some virus definition features."
"In the future, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should improve the firewall and documentation."
"The solution could always be more stable and more user-friendly."
"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."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing."
"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."
"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

"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 pricing seems fair, and I do like the licensing model. You use wherever they are, and it is elastic."
"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 very reasonable."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"Very costly product."
"Licensing for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR can be costly, especially when it comes to a hundred users. A license is required for each user, and the subscription must be renewed on a yearly basis."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"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."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"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 solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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 Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The tool fits within our budget. It is not 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 cost of the solution is reasonable."
"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."
"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."
