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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."

"Its ability to react to cyber data attacks is awesome."

"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."

"The tool is easy to use."

"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."

"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."

"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."

"The stability is pretty good except for one or two cases, and based on the performance, it's been okay with pretty high performance, no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."

"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."

"The solution is stable."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"The convenience has been great."

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"On each desktop, we have Symantic End-User Endpoint Security installed to control the use of any unauthorized software, any unauthorized files being downloaded to the workstations, and so on."

"Symantec's detection capabilities are strong. It involves run protection and behavioral analysis."

"The antivirus and antimalware features are good."

"It seems to be user-friendly and our users seem to like it for the most part."

"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."

"Some of the administrative features are very good; I like the way it allows you to automate things when you're using it with Active Directory, and I like the additional features that come with it, such as the firewall and encryption features, as well as the fact that Symantec runs on different platforms, not just on Windows."

"I like the endpoint detection and response. That's the best feature. I also like the fact that we don't need to use a file on the computer, whereas some anti-malware solutions work with a file on the endpoint. Symantec is a very good option compared to solutions from other vendors."

"I recently checked with a customer, and the feedback that we have got from this customer is that it is catching almost all pirated applications."

More Symantec Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."

"There is also no recovery feature; if some endpoint is under attack there must be the possibility of recovering it or restoring it to a normal state."

"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."

"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."

"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."

"Enhancing UI simplicity and playbook flexibility are areas that could benefit from more low-code automation options for smoother integrations."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

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

"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."

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

"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

"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 solution needs to improve stability."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"SEP can improve on virus detection, especially on zero-day threats."

"There was an administrative feature, which was available in the previous version, which has been removed. We would like that feature to be added again, because it helps the customer in many ways, and it's a very user-friendly feature."

"The pricing is a little bit more expensive than other competitors, if you compare it to Kaspersky, for example, or McAfee."

"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."

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

"There were issues, and they should ensure that the product updates automatically, especially in the DMZ."

"The on-prem console doesn't do the product justice — it's a bit cumbersome."

"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."

More Symantec Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."

"We didn't have to pay any additional fee for the cloud instance. It just came with the renewal, which was nice."

"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription. This is attributed to OPEX savings, as security teams spent less time trying to identify and isolate malware for analysis as a result of a reduction in malware incidents, false positives, and breach avoidance."

"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."

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

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

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
