The solution has given us visibility into compliance within our whole system and helped us ensure everything is updated
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. Only the approved software on the ATM should run. Anything outside that should not even come up at all. We did this so that an outside person doesn't introduce malicious software to the ATM. That's the essence of locking down with application control. Using Symantec for application control has been hectic, so I use Carbon Black to do the lockdown. Checking that data security will work fine with Carbon Black. Carbon Black worked fine. Setting up approval in Carbon Black works differently than Symantec. In Symantec, we first need the fingerprints of the applications running underneath. Before setting up Carbon Black, you first install the agent, allowing it to learn the environment. It will analyze all the software's behavior and provide recommendations for what should be allowed. It's more straightforward, whereas configuring application control in Symantec is a bit cumbersome.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The convenience has been great."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"Symantec have everything – documentation, videos, data sheets."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to use."
"Threat protection has always worked well."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"The most valuable feature is the automated updating feature."
"Their threat protection is very good. We are managing a good number of users thanks to the solution and we are pretty satisfied with it."
 

Cons

"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"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's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"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."
"The spam filter is something that you can't control, and you can't set the filter to intercept different types of emails."
"We communicate with our local partners and they give us the license key. Then, we have to go to the portal and apply it, but sometimes it doesn't work. We then have to create a new administrative account and migrate all our endpoints. That is the only major issue we have been battling with."
"About four years back, Symantec's signature was very heavy and their signature patch was around 200MB or 300MB files."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"We had an issue with the Broadcom migration. We had some problems with product support, and the deployment is tricky because it's an on-premises technology. Deploying any on-premises security solution is hard because you have to distribute the software."
"It would be nice to be able to manage the endpoints a bit further. A valuable attribute would be the management of software inventory, software deployment, and third-party software deployment. I would like to see the ability to deploy and delete unlicensed software. Many users try to install what they shouldn't, so that would be really useful."
"The solution could be more secure and scalable."
"Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function."
