Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is no issue with the stability of Endpoint."
"The biggest advantage it has is the VPN product that is incorporated into the solution."
"Integration is good. You can integrate them with an off-brand endpoint solution. It has quite a few integration features you can use."
"The solution has a lot of extremely useful features, is reliable and makes search engines more powerful, and the user interface, managing, and monitoring tools are also good."
"Your endpoint protection depends on the signature piece, so it's mainly for virus and malware protection, as well as also to control devices and applications."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to power up a device and wipe the data remotely."
"One of the features I found very nice in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is that it's good at scanning and fixing issues on its own."
"The patch management alerts are the most valuable, and whenever they have one, I get a notification and can then handle the upgrades or updates."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"I'm not sure if there's anything lacking; I personally don't use the solution too much, so I'd have to look at it a bit and do some more research. I'm more on the operation side of things."
"Application and device control needs to be improved. We also need to enhance login features for management to have good visibility of the events."
"A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application."
"It would be nice to have more flexibility regarding deployment."
"For a lot of the issues my team experienced from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile, Symantec said that getting the issues resolved would mean going through the partner that sold the product and creating an incident report to get the team to work on the actual company environment. A lot of the problems my team has been having from Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile were associated with Outlook for endpoint users who were being locked out of the Outlook application. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile is its central web hub, where you're supposed to be able to update all of the endpoints because it wasn't reaching the endpoints. For example, even if the central web hub was able to see the endpoints and do the required scans, whenever you'd go to do a policy change, the policy change wouldn't propagate down to the endpoints. The central web hub allows you to monitor all of your endpoints and allows you to choose actions you'd want to do to each of the endpoints such as pushing down on updates or scanning the system. The problem my team usually gets is that majority of the time, whenever my team would do policy updates, the updates won't propagate down to the users, so it was very inconsistent. Needing to manually go through and scan systems is also an area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile. Currently, there's no way to automate its scanning process. A lot of the other issues started appearing in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile during situations when people wanted to customize different applications. Symantec doesn't like people doing a lot of customizations. For example, the main problem in my company is users losing access to Outlook, but then my team discovered that there was a specific policy set that you could disable, and it would fix a lot of the Outlook issues. However, when you'd go to change that policy set and attach that to a user to overwrite policies on the user side, it just wouldn't do anything for that user. It wouldn't even show that the policy was updated, so this is what needs to be improved in Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile."
"Having better, real-time support would be an improvement over having to send an email."
"When there is an attack attempt on mobile, there doesn't seem to be much of a notification."
"The price is too expensive for the Egyptian market here. Compared to other products or the other competition here in the local market, they need to be more competitive cost-wise."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get the solution for free if you purchase the complete endpoint security licensing."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
