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 is the best tool for endpoint detection, and I have used it to verify hashes or domains to identify malicious activity, trigger playbooks that automate and gather endpoint logs, block malicious processes, and update incident tickets, showcasing end-to-end processes with automation in investigation and reducing the analysis workflow."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"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."
"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"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."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"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."
"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 solution works well overall, you can scale the product, the solution is secure, and the product has a very good user interface."
"It doesn't require an on-premises server to manage it. It allows us to monitor the machine to check if it is up-to-date and not lagging."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is a simple solution to implement; it took us half a day to complete the process."
"The solution is stable with good customer service."
"Simple and very scalable solution that provides endpoint security and malware protection."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"The solution has integrated some AI tools for the automation of tasks."
 

Cons

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"The GUI could be improved."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"The solution should force customers to integrate with network traffic to see the full benefits of XDR."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"User management could be improved."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
"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."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
"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."
"The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"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."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is 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."
"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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning it is an average-priced solution."
