Symantec Endpoint Security Reviews

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is used for network security.

The solution is easy to use.

I have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for approximately 10 years.

I have found Symantec End-User Endpoint Security to be stable.

The time frame for the implementation all depends on the number of users, the number of licenses that have been purchased by the company. The typical time frame is three to four days.

I have approximately five customers using this solution.

The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to deploy.

To do the implementation it is best to have one engineer and one IT person for the job.

We have some customers on a one-year license and others on a three-year license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security a ten out of ten.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security came with our antivirus protection as a package. Additionally, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager comes with it by default and it is a wonderful tool.

Symantec is very user-friendly, the interface and functions are very simple for everyone to understand. Additionally, it's a very robust system.

The solution could improve by adding encryption. If it had encryption along with antivirus it would be better.

I have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for approximately 15 years.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I would rate the scalability of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

The technical support of Symantec was very good earlier, but it has merged with Broadcom. There are some delays happening and I hope they are resolved soon.

The price of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is okay. When comparing the price of this solution is not expensive.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security a nine out of ten because of the endpoint protection and its antivirus capability. It takes care of all the requirements of its customers. If the solution had encryption I would have rated it a ten out of ten.

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.

I can push the client out. All the antivirus updates are managed from a single central point, and it just works. 

It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both.

I have been using this solution for 15 years.

We haven't had any problems with it.

I would rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of 10. We haven't had any problems with it. It just works.

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.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function.

There are certain drawbacks regarding deployment. We have to leverage other things like PPM.
Another major drawback is that we can't do the deployment from the console itself. We have to depend on other products technically.

The reporting is not as good.

Check detection could be improved as well.

I've been using it for three years.

The support from Broadcom has been good.

The initial setup was straightforward. I think it's automatically configured, so we didn't have to do anything.

If you only want the Endpoint Protection solution, you can go with Symantec End-User Endpoint Security. It is an awesome solution.

However, in the case of a large user base, and you also have to take care of the deployment etc., then I would not recommend this solution.

I would rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security at six on a scale from one to ten.

We use Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for protecting our network.

The performance of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is very good. It does not slow down the computer like other solutions.

I have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

I have found Symantec End-User Endpoint Security to be scalable.

I have used Eset Antivirus previously.

Our IT team did the implementation of the solution.

The price of the solution could be less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We are not satisfied with the technical support. Since Broadcom took over responsibility for its engagement, we have faced many issues. This is why we wish to switch to a different antivirus solution. We are currently in contact with the relevant distributors and suppliers in regards to this issue. We do not wish to encounter the same challenges that we face at present. Before switching to Sophos, we would first have to ensure that all our support-related concerns are addressed.

When an issue happens in my cell, we can log in a ticket on the Symantec or Broadcom websites. From this point, the response time is very slow. Sometimes technical support lacks a proper or firsthand knowledge of an issue and finds itself lacking in the appropriate response. We feel this to be very irritating. The customer wishes for the issue to be resolved, but tech support has shown itself to be inadequate in dealing with enterprise tech products. 

We have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for the last five or six years. 

We are not satisfied with the technical support and find it greatly lacking.

In the past we worked with Sophos, although not with its antivirus product but with Cyberoam Firewall. We recently purchased a new Sophos firewall product, Sophos 101, which is a network firewall solution. The difference is that we did not previously have the appropriate experience with related antivirus products, but now we are in a position to analyze how best Sophos endpoint protection can meet our needs. 

While the solution is easy to use, it is solely because of the support issues we raised that we plan to switch products. 

When it comes to pricing, Sophos is preferable to Symantec. It provides a cloud-based dashboard which affords control and an easy centralized management system. This is of considerable benefit and explains why we have decided to go with Sophos. 

Owing to the support issues we raised, we can only rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security as a five out of ten. 

I believe we are using the latest version. 

The solution deals with signature-based antiviruses.

We are not very happy with the solution and are in the process of moving away from it. 

Owing to its limitations, we are currently moving towards EDR products, which we find to be more dynamic. 

The solution could be more secure and scalable. 

We have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for two or three years. 

The solution is stable. As a product, it does what it should, but no more. It will fail to detect a new kind of malware that lacks a signature. 

The solution could be more scalable. 

I cannot comment on the technical support as I do not deal with them directly. 

The installation was very easy. 

I do not recall exactly how long it took. 

We have a team of around five people, all engineers, who are responsible for deployment and maintenance. 

There is a yearly license. 

I believe there were other products we evaluated before going with the solution. 

There are around 5,000 users in our organization who are making use of the solution. 

This solution is only recommended in the initial phases for an organization which is just starting out. But, considering the current threat landscape, I do not recommend signature-based antivirus for any organization.

We use this solution for threat protection in our automation control systems.

One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates.

The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface.

We have been using this solution within the past 12 months.

The solution is scalable, we have approximately 1400 systems using this solution.

The solution was bought by Broadcom and since the change, the support has not been good.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
