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

"From a single pane of glass, you can easily manage all of your endpoints."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"We switched because there were a lot of added features with Palo Alto that Check Point didn't have, and it was an upgrade for us."
"It is an easy-to-use tool."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"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 anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution is stable."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"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 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 features I like most about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is its basic antivirus features and everything it offers, e.g. the scan engine is much better now compared to the previous versions because it became smarter."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"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 best feature is the firewall that lets us allow or block ports. That's a great tool because we can limit specific types of traffic on user devices and apply granular security controls to IPs and ports."
"We use the solution for detection."
"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."
"The solution is very cheap."
"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."
 

Cons

"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a very good product, but financially, it is very expensive, so the company should look into that area."
"In the next release, I would like to see more UI improvements. Their UI is a bit basic. When we are speaking about Palo Alto Networks they are the big company, so they can improve the UI a little bit. The UI, the reports, the log system can all be improved."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"The solution should enhance the ADR and reporting."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The interface is slow."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise needs to improve its manageability. It is not easy to manage."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"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."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"I am using the Community edition."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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 product is not very expensive."
"The solution's license is very expensive."
"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."
"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 cost of the solution is reasonable."
