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."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to use."
"The fact that it has centralized management is the most valuable feature."
"There are no issues with scalability."
"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"It just works. We have a console, and I can see it at a glance. I don't have any problems with it at all."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"The tool has predefined rules, like which actions to block or allow. This makes it easy because I don't have to figure out what policies to deploy."
"The incident response capabilities allow me to resolve authentication and support issues promptly, ensuring the system operates without downtime."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The agent shouldn't use up so many resources at the endpoint when scanning and protecting."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"The areas that need improvement include scanning issues, application control issues, and the detection of malicious files."
"When it was directly with Symantec, the technical support was perfect. After Broadcom acquired Symantec, the level of technical support dropped."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"Using the management console is a bit complex. There are many features that we cannot use and we could use some help. We need some assistance to make them work better. They need to add features to make it simpler."
"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The EDR options are costlier than other products."
"It's pretty awesome price-wise. That's why we give it to most of our clients. It isn't very expensive. Compared to Cisco AMP, which is very expensive, its price is okay. It's also cheaper than Malwarebytes."
"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."
"What we have paid for this product is good value for the work and the services that they are providing to us."
"The pricing was one of the factors that led us to choose this product."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit more expensive than other competitors, if you compare it to Kaspersky, for example, or McAfee."
"Each annual client license is around 1200 or 1600 INR."
