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

"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"Overall, it's a great platform; it integrates very well with other solutions from Palo Alto and also with our vendors, the ease of use is excellent, I love the root cause analysis from Cortex, which is amazing, and in a few clicks you can have the full root cause."
"The most valuable features of this product are the management capabilities, which allow an IT organization to get quite a good picture of attempted cyber attacks, and its out-of-the-box investigation capabilities."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"If any application performs suspicious activities, such as changing registries or modifying other applications, Cortex XDR detects and blocks the entire application."
"Once you become familiar with it, Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a more powerful tool and I would say that I prefer it over MDE because it is a stronger tool for me."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The solution is stable."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"With this solution, we haven't had any attacks, every malicious activity is blocked and monitored, and we can integrate it with our SIEM to efficiently manage and monitor all activity."
"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."
"One feature I found most valuable in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is the firewall feature on the endpoint."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."
"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."
"In reference to zero-day attacks, we immediately get signatures from the Symantec site. That is good."
 

Cons

"They've been having some issues with updating their endpoint agents, and it has been quite frustrating."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
"Additionally, I think the price is very high, and if it can be adjusted, I believe it will be a very good solution."
"A better pricing plan would make this product more competitive."
"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It takes time to scan the servers and devices."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"The interface is slow."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"I would like to see improvements to URL filtering, URL filtering IPS, and any URL."
"The product isn't stable at all. New issues and bugs are introduced with new releases, which has been happening for the past three years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"The price is on the higher side, but it's okay."
"Very costly product."
"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."
"Compared to CrowdStrike, Cortex XDR is an expensive solution."
"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
