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…

Resolve support issues promptly while optimizing system resource usage
I use the solution primarily for scanning and identifying threats, which is essential in determining the percentage of resources used, such as CPU and hard disk. It's important to balance resource consumption to maintain operational efficiency. Furthermore, the incident response capabilities allow me to resolve authentication and support issues promptly, ensuring the system operates without downtime.

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."
"Symantec is very user-friendly, the interface and functions are very simple for everyone to understand. Additionally, it's a very robust system."
"It is good for detecting signature-based viruses, and it is user friendly."
"I like the firewall and the intrusion prevention features, and just the basic anti-malware and anti-virus seems to be pretty effective as well."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"It's a single-agent installation with many features including wireless protection."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"Users mostly complain that the solution slows down the system whenever something is scanned."
"It could use more feature parity between what is offered with their on-prem console as well as their hosted console."
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"The reporting function needs to be more user friendly in general."
"They're just starting to get into this now, but I think they can do better - they're just starting out with I think is called the SEP Cloud Console. It has more limited functionality. It will be good once we can run SEP from the cloud. That would be good."
"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."
"This latest version has proven unreliable for management and installation."
"When, Microsoft releases a new OS version twice a year, you never know if the current version of Symantec Endpoint Protection will support it. You can have a lag between when Microsoft releases a new client - and then the current version doesn't work correctly - and it could be some months between updates from Symantec."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is fair."
"There are subscription costs, we typically purchase the annual subscription. There can be other expenses too, for example, we use CrowdStrike also as part of our policy."
"Licensing is per user. Therefore, it makes it easy to do licensing."
"The price of the product is competitive if compared to its competitors in the market."
"One great benefit is we do not need to activate a license for every endpoint. The price is fair."
"The price of Symantec is on the higher end. They face some competition from a company called Quick Heal, which is much cheaper than Endpoint Security. They offer three years of protection at just 900 rupees."
"The price of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is okay. When comparing the price of this solution is not expensive."
"Its price is reasonable."
