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 performance of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is very good. It does not slow down the computer like other solutions."
"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."
"ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known."
"The solution's application control feature is very, very powerful."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten for stability."
"The application and device control are valuable features, and the live update is another one. We have a schedule to check every four hours for the live update."
"It's good at detecting signature-based stuff and stopping that."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"It would be nice to see more antivirus features for USB control."
"After selling this product, what we have observed is that the system gets slower, which is a major issue."
"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"The virus definitions could be updated more frequently."
"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."
"Must push to EXE files to the endpoints."
"The reporting could be improved."
