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 tool is easy to use."
"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."
"The most valuable for us is the correlation feature."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"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."
"These days it's machine-learning technology and behavior-based analytics features that make us more secure."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"The most valuable aspect of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks for me is its integration with AI detection, where we get to know the behavioral detection based on users, traffic patterns, and different services that we consume."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The convenience has been great."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."
"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."
"The solution's most important feature is its reliability. It is not heavy on the workstation."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
"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."
"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."
"It is a very reliable product."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
 

Cons

"They have the worst support, as a company, that I have ever worked with, as they are difficult to get a hold of and keep on the phone. They don't know what they are talking about when you get them on the phone. They don't like to respond to messages when you send them to them. They like to "research problems" for weeks on end, then pass you off to somebody else."
"As an improvement, I would like to see enhanced connection speeds."
"There's room for improvement with Mac device installations, which can be challenging."
"There are some limitations on the Traps agents."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"In terms of areas of improvement, we have not completed our review of the product. We're also looking at other products. So, it's a little bit hard to tell what could be different because we have not completed the review of this product, but based on our experience so far, its implementation is quite complex."
"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"User management could be improved."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"They could improve the user interface."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"Cortex XDR’s pricing is very reasonable."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't really that expensive."
"The price of the product is not very economical."
"It's about $55 per license on a yearly basis."
"It's the most expensive solution, but features-wise, it's quite strong. It's very good for protection, so the results are very good in the case of protection. I would rate it a two out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"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."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
"The license isn't expensive."
"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 product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
