Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk

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.

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing

The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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

"We use it for malicious connections from malicious websites, to identify payloads that might be inside the traffic, to identify malicious processes or bugs that are running on the network, and any activities that tend to lead to data infiltration."

"The main benefit of using Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks while employing Palo Alto Firewall at the internet edge is that it improves security on our endpoint devices, integrating seamlessly with Palo Alto Firewalls to deliver comprehensive network, analyst, and security details all in a single dashboard, which allows us to manage everything from our network devices."

"We have found in our test Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks to be a very good tool."

"The policy configuration is great, the granularity of policies that are available is very helpful, it is straightforward to set up, and it has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."

"The good thing about the product is that it's always scanning."

"I recognize that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is one of the best products in its category regarding capabilities."

"Cortex is the best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."

"The product has an intuitive dashboard."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"The solution installs very easily."

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."

"Protection from viruses, malware, Trojans, and malicious files is most valuable. It is also good in terms of application control. I can control the type of external media that can be connected with endpoint devices and protect them from malicious files and devices such as USB."

"When it comes to pricing, Sophos is preferable to Symantec, as it provides a cloud-based dashboard which affords control and an easy centralized management system, which is of considerable benefit and explains why we have decided to go with Sophos."

"We no longer have to deal with day-to-day threats, and we can focus more on work."

"The IPS function (with no firewall needed to be installed in the SEP client) is quite good."

"I think the key thing for me, is interoperability, in that you can deploy it to Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's been a really important feature in the last two years. Now there's one management console to cover all three OSs."

"I would advise to choose this product because it is very easy to deploy, has a performant host IPS and antivirus engine, and it provides a key source for security metrics."

"It is a scalable product and is average stability-wise."

"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."

More Symantec Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"The technical support is not very good. I find the process difficult."

"This is a very costly product."

"It would be good to have a better way to search for a file within the UI."

"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."

"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."

"The configuration could be simplified. I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."

"Product might have some bugs."

"I feel that it should not be a licensed activity because a feature should allow us to see applications running on end devices."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."

"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."

"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."

"It is not cheap."

"I would like to see improvements in the scanning part of the solution, specifically to enhance the CPU and hard disk usage during scanning and updates to prevent disruption during work hours."

"Zero-day threat and device management or device control can be better."

"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."

"I think it's a good product but we've had some problems with their support and service."

"Technical support is a bit of an issue."

"SEP could improve on virus detection, specially on Zero-Day threats."

More Symantec Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."

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

"The tool's price is moderate."

"It's way too expensive, but security is expensive. You pay for your licensing, and then you pay for someone to monitor the stuff."

"In terms of the cost Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very expensive because we are a Mexican company and when you translate dollars to pesos the cost is very high. The solution is very expensive for Mexican companies. I understand that they have international prices, but I do not think it offsets the price enough for many companies in countries, such as Mexico. The amount it is reduced is not a massive percentage."

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
