Empathy is highly related with the big 5 personality trait Agreeableness, but is not itself agreement. It is not a failure of empathy to come to understand someone's perspective, and then disagree with that perspective (regardless of what internet busybodies want you to believe). Depending on how high in Conscientiousness (another big 5 trait) someone is, they might have action-oriented or planning-based conclusions after empathizing with someone. It might seem cold, calculating and "not empathizing" to someone higher in agreeableness.
