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.

With DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities, the solution also offers great technical support
The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities. It is a lightweight solution with good features, allowing for application control. The solution also offers good DLP features, and our company recently upgraded to use its XDR features. The solution's XDR features work smoothly in our company. With the lightweight nature of the solution and its features, my team was required to deploy the solution in our company. Our company also receives good support from Seqrite, which was one of the main reasons we chose the solution since we could get help if we faced any issues with the solution.

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

"Palo Alto is the best security solution in the market."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"We use Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for its ability to detect based on behavior rather than simple virus scan to prevent malicious activities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the user interface."
"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"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 solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The convenience has been great."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"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 solution is stable."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution works well overall, you can scale the product, the solution is secure, and the product has a very good user interface."
"The endpoint protection features are valuable."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise’s interface is good to use."
"Since I joined the company and implemented Symantec and other products, we've had stability on our network and no security incidents or breaches."
"Managing the dashboard is straightforward and efficient. I appreciate the convenience of accessing all alerts in one place and find configuring policies to be a simple process. Creating and deploying policies to agents is easily accomplished, and the communication between agents and servers is effectively implemented. These aspects are what I find favorable about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"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 solution is very cheap."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 encryption is not up to the mark."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"The product's pricing needs improvement. They could provide more discounts. Additionally, the dashboard and control panel could be enhanced."
"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."
"The solution lags to the real-time scenarios here and there."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"Unlike traditional tools, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise does not provide trigger alerts based on user behavior-based traffic."
"We are currently looking at CrowdStrike as a replacement option because on-prem support is going away under Symantec."
"The solution is not user-friendly, it's difficult to find what you need, it takes time and you really need to know where to search."
"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 customer support is lacking; I rate it a four out of ten."
"I believe an improvement could be made in Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise by incorporating a URL blocking feature within the same product. Currently, it requires a separate subscription and agent installation, which I think could be more streamlined for unified management from a single agent."
"The solution could always be more stable and more user-friendly."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"This is an expensive solution."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two 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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning it is an average-priced solution."
"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."
"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 product is not very expensive."
