Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
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.

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

"Technical support is the best in class, in my opinion, because they have invested heavily in research and development."
"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."
"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the low consumption of system resources. The solution uses a lot of AI and machine learning."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"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."
"It is a simple platform to use."
"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"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 monitoring and reporting features are pretty awesome."
"We use the solution for detection."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is highly compatible and rarely causes disruptions in production; it operates transparently and is easy to maintain."
"Since I joined the company and implemented Symantec and other products, we've had stability on our network and no security incidents or breaches."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise’s interface is good to use."
"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."
"The solution works well overall, you can scale the product, the solution is secure, and the product has a very good user interface."
 

Cons

"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"The solution can never really be an on-premises solution based simply on the way it is set up. It needs metadata to run and improve. Having an on-premises solution would cut it off from making improvements."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"I would like to see them include NDR (Network Detection Response). Then it would work well with SIEM Response."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"I think sometimes Cortex XDR agent automatically stops event capturing from the device, and then even the dashboard does not get any notifications from the agent."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"I believe an improvement could be made in Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise by incorporating a URL blocking feature within the same product. Currently, it requires a separate subscription and agent installation, which I think could be more streamlined for unified management from a single agent."
"Needs to be more user-friendly; lacks a simple way to search data."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing."
"The customer support is lacking; I rate it a four out of ten."
"The product must develop some virus definition features."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise needs to improve its manageability. It is not easy to manage."
"The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"The price was fine."
"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"It is "expensive" and flexible."
"Our license will require renewal in August, after which the maintenance will continue as usual."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
Information not available
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, meaning it is an average-priced solution."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's license is very expensive."
"I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two out of ten."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."
"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."
