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.

Has provided strong security foundations but struggles with integration and ongoing compatibility issues
It had its problems. They were rebuilding it while having the old functionality and new functionality layered on top of each other. They were migrating the functionalities to the new solution, which caused significant problems. The mobile device management was not unified with the other endpoint management, creating structural issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monitoring is most valuable."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"Traps has drastically reduced our endpoint attack surface via advanced detection capabilities, sandboxing of never before seen programs, and by drastically limiting where executables can launch in the first place."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"The solution allows us to gain remote access without the user's knowledge and take the necessary actions on the device."
"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 update process and policy control are good."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"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."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced rate firewall protection, the URL filtering."
"One feature I found most valuable in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is the firewall feature on the endpoint. The firewall feature helps users handle virus outbreaks."
"Setting up Symantec is straightforward. Our DevOps team handled the installation, so I wasn't involved, but it wasn't that complicated. They are competent people with certifications in anti-virus management. They didn't need any training or help from the vendor."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"Security Complete comes with antivirus plus EDR, which is a convergence of antivirus and EDR."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"The feature I like the most is the Adaptive Protection... And it does not negatively affect users' activities because we can adapt it and allow binaries that are executed regularly, while forbidding those that are not executed within the company."
"Setting up Symantec is straightforward."
 

Cons

"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The dashboard is the area that needs to improve so that we can have the ability to drill down without having to go elsewhere to verify results."
"The GUI could be improved. It's a little bit cumbersome. It could be more user-friendly."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"It automatically detects security issues. It should be able to protect our network devices while operating autonomously."
"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."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"User management could be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture... we would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it."
"Installation and packaging for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should be improved. Its console is also confusing, so that's another area for improvement."
"The solution is a pretty expensive product. While it provides good service, considering the price, it is hard to tell about the benefits."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
"Getting ROI from Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is tough. It's not feasible to get ROI now."
"Installing Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not as straightforward as the Bitdefender installation; I find the installation of this product really cumbersome."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"The pricing is a little high. It is per user per year."
"We pay about $50,000 USD per year for a bundle that includes Cortex XDR."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"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."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
