Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Management becomes easier with minimal complications, but improvement in support tools needed
Regarding areas of improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security, there are many changes, and the support portal tool is complicated compared to other tools. When trying to get service from Symantec, the process is complex. I'm not sure whether it's because of my project or something else. Though it is easy to manage, easy to get, easy to install, and works efficiently for managing policies, we faced a significant disadvantage. We wanted to add multiple hashes because of numerous new alerts coming, but we could only add them one by one, which is a considerable disadvantage in Symantec.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"The solution is easy to use."
"All Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) features, such as anti-malware, zero-day attack protection, and IPS features, are valuable."
"Symantec's detection capabilities are strong. It involves run protection and behavioral analysis."
"Customer service and support are very good, rating ten out of ten."
"SEP, the entire suite of components, provides good endpoint protection."
"Symantec Endpoint Security's pricing is better than most offerings based on my research."
"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."
"It's a robust product."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The solution is very difficult to uninstall. There isn't really a way to uninstall the product at all, which is quite a headache."
"In a few cases, when we enable the IPS/IDS feature, there are performance-related issues on the end devices. If we run quite a few features of Symantec, especially the IPS/IDF, it consumes a lot of processing and memory capacity."
"Symantec isn't good in terms of updating customers about updates. You'd normally have to search it out. Sometimes, the update process for the administration and management console can be a bit intimidating, and it can be quite inconvenient to get the updates. That's because when you have to do the update, you have to update the management console, and then you need to update the clients. Their application that's installed on desktops and servers needs to go hand in hand with the management console. Sometimes, it's a bit unwieldy to see that process through."
"The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface."
"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."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"The whitelisting feature does not work as expected."
"We wanted to add multiple hashes because of numerous new alerts coming, but we could only add them one by one, which is a considerable disadvantage in Symantec."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is fair."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is a moderately priced solution."
"Licensing is based on a yearly subscription."
"What we have paid for this product is good value for the work and the services that they are providing to us."
"I am not sure of the initial cost, but the yearly renewals are quite affordable, which is a good thing. The price seems to have come down in recent years, and with the alternatives that are out there, such as Microsoft Defender, it needs to maintain that affordability to make it attractive."
"One great benefit is we do not need to activate a license for every endpoint. The price is fair."
"Licensing is per user. Therefore, it makes it easy to do licensing."
"We pay our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and everything is included in that price."
