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

"The most valuable feature is that you can select remote access of any machine for sandboxing."
"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 tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, collecting relevant indicators such as hashes, IP addresses, or domains efficiently and can detect and block malicious attacks with firewalls."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution is stable."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"What I appreciate the most about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the integration with the workstations and the around-the-clock monitoring."
"The monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
"Endpoint protection solution with machine learning, device control, and application control features. It is scalable and stable."
"This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability."
"The solution is very cheap."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"Symantec is a little bit better at remediating or preventing things in general."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise’s interface is good to use."
 

Cons

"The downsides of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks are that in many incidents, when I enter the causality chain, there are numerous logs."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"Product might have some bugs."
"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"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."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"It could be more responsive and have fewer delays."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"The platform could be improved for beginners as it wasn't intuitive to manage initially."
"Needs to be more user-friendly; lacks a simple way to search data."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"The tool fits within our budget. It is not 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."
