Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 8, 2026

Seqrite Endpoint Security and Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are strong contenders in the endpoint security category. Symantec holds the upper hand due to its advanced threat detection capabilities powered by machine learning and AI.

Features: Seqrite offers asset management, fast deployment, and external device protection. Its ransomware backup restoration and data loss prevention (DLP) stand out. Symantec integrates machine learning for threat detection, strong firewall management, and real-time monitoring, along with anti-malware and anti-ransomware capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Seqrite needs to enhance its ransomware detection, stability, and Apple integration. Monitoring and reporting features require improvements. Symantec should focus on user-friendliness, particularly in dashboard customization, and better optimize for Mac environments. It also needs to improve cloud platform integration and endpoint features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Seqrite facilitates smooth deployment across on-premises and hybrid environments but has mixed support reviews with reports of delayed assistance. Symantec ensures reliable deployment across cloud frameworks and maintains structured online support, though sometimes criticized for slow response.

Pricing and ROI: Seqrite is cost-effective for small to medium enterprises, offering robust features at lower costs than larger competitors. Its licensing is economical and delivers significant ROI. Symantec, viewed as a premium product, justifies higher costs with a comprehensive feature set, offering licensing flexibility potentially saving costs for diverse endpoint needs.

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.

Cons

"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."

"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.

"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."

"It'll help if customization was easier."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The interface is slow."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"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."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it."

"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 could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."

"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."

"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 product must develop some virus definition features."

"The solution needs to be marketed to more consumers so that they will use it."

"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."

More Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"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."

"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."

"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."

"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."

"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice
