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

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"Palo Alto Networks Traps improves our security posture and lowers risk by providing next-gen methods to combat against modern threats on all the major platforms."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"They have a new GUI which is just fantastic."
"Traps pays for itself within the first 16 months of a three-year subscription."
"The most valuable feature of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is its machine-learning capabilities. Additionally, there is full integration with other solutions."
"The solution allows us to make investigations. Other XDR solutions also provide similar capabilities but for investigation, Cortex XDR is better."
"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."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"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."
"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."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"We were excited about the cloud-based management features of Seqrite and were looking to use the same."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."
"Endpoint Security is very easy to set up, and it only takes one or two people."
"It is a very reliable product."
"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."
 

Cons

"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"I recommend adding a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks. The inclusion of this feature would allow the application of DLP policies alongside antivirus policies via a single agent and console, making it more competitive as other OEMs often offer DLP solutions as part of their antivirus products."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"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."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The interface is slow."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"User management is not that good currently, and so we have trouble with handling user management."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"The deployment of Symantec components could be improved."
"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"I would like to see improvements to URL filtering, URL filtering IPS, and any URL."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"It has a yearly renewal."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."
"Its pricing is kind of in line with its competitors and everybody else out there."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"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."
"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."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"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."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
