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

"The stability of this product is very good."
"Cortex XDR is a very capable solution for protecting large networks and a lot of endpoints. It's very useful because the automation is very high, and if you combine it with the features on Palo Alto firewalls, it provides very strong protection."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"There are a lot of lead solutions in this space, however, Palo Alto is number one."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"It can automatically correlate events and logs, which is very helpful for an IT administrator. It can correlate different kinds of malware activities over a network, agent, or host system. You do not need to do it manually. It is a good feature. It is also a user-friendly solution. We have deployed it on the cloud because our space does not provide any flexibility for on-premises deployment, but Palo Alto has added some flexibility to install it on-premises. It must be like the same Cortex XDR agent for all the VPN services, web filtering services, and everything else."
"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."
"If you are looking to deploy a security solution as a whole, this is a good option."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"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."
"The solution is stable with good customer service."
"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."
"The solution works well overall, you can scale the product, the solution is secure, and the product has a very good user interface."
"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
"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."
"The solution is very cheap; it's the cheapest option and delivers the most basic protection we need."
 

Cons

"The downside to the solution is that there are a large number of false positives."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"I have run into some detection issues with Cortex XDR. It needs to be better at detection of internal attacks."
"I have seen lagging with Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. There was one time when we faced a threat actor trying to gain access to our system. When our team utilized the tool, we were all on the same dashboard and we faced a lag issue at that time of around five minutes, which was quite significant."
"We have found that there are times Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks does not detect some of the viruses, we have to use another protection solution called Kaspersky."
"This product has not improved my organization - in fact, we are in the process of moving back to another product as a result of Cortex's horrible impact on system performance."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"If Palo Alto reduces the pricing slightly for their products, it would make them more scalable in markets such as India and globally for cybersecurity."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution."
"Customers are uncertain about the modern protection features compared to competitors such as ThreatDown, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."
"The product must develop some virus definition features."
"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."
"The customer support is lacking; I rate it a four out of ten."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"The price of the solution could be reduced. I have customers that have voiced that the solution is good for the value but if I want to sell more of the solution the price reduction would help."
"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."
"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."
"It is cost-effective compared to similar solutions. It fits for the small businesses through to the big businesses."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"It is a cheaply priced product."

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

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"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 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."
"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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning it is an average-priced solution."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"The product is not very expensive."
"The solution's license is very expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
