We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process.""The ease of deployment is a valuable feature.""Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."

More SECDO Platform Pros →

"Some of the features that were important were a built-in firewall and device control.""I like the additional features that come with it. The firewall feature and the encryption feature that they throw in are good as well. Another thing that I like about Symantec is that it runs on different platforms, not just on Windows.""The most valuable feature is that I don't feel that it is there. It works in the background and doesn't interfere with my daily work. All the scans are done in the background. This is the biggest advantage of this product. It works because I have never been infected since I have been using this solution. Its interface is also very good.""One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates.""The mobile application is valuable. You are able to see the reports of intrusions and the like on mobile devices. That is one of the coolest aspects.""The application and device control functionality is good. We are able to see which applications are installed using the product management dashboard.""Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes.""It's good at detecting signature-based stuff and stopping that."

Cons
"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it.""The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market.""Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."

More SECDO Platform Cons →

"My personal opinion is that Symantec has too many WS.Reputation.1 detections, which could cause important computers to malfunction.""The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful.""There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet.""The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old.""Managements' number one item on the "Wish List" would have to do with the real-time scan of external media inserted into any client.""We were having a problem in Version 14, where the client machines used to go into the health state and once it restarted, and never came back again.""Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that.""SONAR could be improved. The false/positive rate is a little high."

  • "It's not cheap."

    Overview

    SECDO enables security teams to identify and remediate incidents fast. Using thread-level endpoint monitoring and causality analytics, SECDO provides visibility into every endpoint along with the context necessary for understanding whether a suspicious activity is a genuine threat. Unique deception techniques force threats like ransomware out into the open early, and trigger automated containment and remediation.

    SECDO provides the most intuitive investigation experience available so you can quickly unravel complex incidents across the organization.  You can investigate incidents detected by SECDO as well as alerts from the SIEM. SECDO visualizes the attack chain so you immediately understand the “who, what, where, when and how” behind the incident. Then, based on an analysis of exactly how endpoints were compromised, SECDO surgically remediates the incident with minimum user impact.
