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.

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

"My advice for anybody who is considering Cortex XDR is that it is a complete solution, and has very good features."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."
"Palo Alto is constantly adding new features."
"Stability is one of the features we like the most."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"It detected stuff that other things wouldn't detect."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable, and it is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The convenience has been great."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"With Seqrite, it is completely protected, and we have full control over what is happening on the end user's laptop."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"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."
"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 tool's performance is good. It provides efficient updates quickly, even before threats are encountered in our environment. We've been using this solution for the last fifteen years and have found it very good. It helps to prevent ransomware attacks. We are already using its antivirus and firewall solutions. It has asset management and XDR features."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
 

Cons

"For Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, if I had to point out improvements, I would say the UI is still somewhat difficult for beginners."
"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."
"We had a problem with getting our older endpoints up to date, but their newest updates have been really good. I've been pleased with it in terms of what our needs are. It's doing what we want it to do."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"Currently, we are monitoring all USB drives and ports but we would like to improve our device control capabilities."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"The onboarding process could be better."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The stability is zero, Seqrite doesn't work, and the company doesn't accept the problems."
"User management could be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"I would like to see improvements to URL filtering, URL filtering IPS, and any URL."
"An area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be developed more because competitors have started providing EDR and XDR functionalities, but in the product, those are still missing. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be lightweight. Currently, the product is very heavy when compared to other vendors. It takes up too much space on the hard drive and the memory."
"Instead of the updates, the tool needs to come up with a concept similar to Veritas."
"They could improve the user interface."
"Getting ROI from Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is tough. It's not feasible to get ROI now."
"The solution is a pretty expensive product. While it provides good service, considering the price, it is hard to tell about the benefits."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay, although direct support can be expensive."
"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."
"Every customer has to pay for a license because it doesn't work with what you get from a managed services provider."
"It has reasonable pricing for the use cases it provides to the company."
"The solution has one subscription for endpoint protection and one subscription for detection and response. The two licenses combined give you the BRO version."
"I feel it is fairly priced."
"The tool's price is moderate."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"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."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"It is a cheaply priced 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."
"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."
"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."
