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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Behavioral protection has blocked ransomware and now saves extensive recovery and audit time

The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is its effectiveness in malware protection. Its malware protection capabilities stand out due to their ease of management. Although multiple tools assist in this process, managing them all can sometimes be challenging. In terms of malware protection, Symantec Endpoint Security performs well, and its mechanisms, tactics, and techniques are effective. Symantec Endpoint Security offers robust features such as advanced reporting capabilities with a customizable dashboard that integrates EDR timelines, threat maps, and compliance metrics into a single view. Additionally, reports can be exported to PDF or CSV formats, making reporting one of its strong points. It also provides comprehensive device control features, which block unauthorized USB devices and support whitelisting. This helps prevent data exfiltration and phishing scenarios without disrupting user workflows.

"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution installs very easily."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"We use the solution for our endpoint security."

"There is no other endpoint solution that will help you in preventing lateral-movement attacks on Active Directory. And Active Directory is one of the more critical assets within an organization."

"So far, we've been pleased with its capabilities for the most part."

"The centralized console is great for us. It gives us one centralized console to manage all of the endpoints."

"Easy to use solution."

"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."

More Symantec Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."

"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"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. 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."

"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."

"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."

"In some cases, there are too many options for me, and it is a bit too hard to find some settings which I really need to implement."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

"Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function."

"The localization could be better. It could be more friendly for local users."

"The malware and ransomware protections could be improved, which was ultimately the reason why I stopped using the solution."

"I would like to see improvements in the anti-virus and the device control features."

"I'd like to see a full anti-ransomware solution because there are some anti-ransomware functionalities that would assist us if they were included in the solution."

"The bottom line is that when it comes to management, reliability of management, reporting, alerting, installation, and licensing, if these don't work reliably you can't trust the product's security capability."

"Symantec needs to develop some reporting features and notifications. For instance, if the server is not on or it's shut down. There should also be time-based USB control."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices."

More Symantec Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."

"This is an expensive solution."

"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."

"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."

"It has a higher cost than other solutions, like CrowdStrike or Microsoft’s EDR tools, but it reduces the cost of our operations because it’s a new generation antivirus tool."
