I would recommend Symantec Protection Engine to others looking to implement this product, and they should consider doing a proof of concept. I give this product an overall rating of nine out of ten.
I use policy management capabilities with the Visual Policy Manager. The impact of policy management on my security and my customers' security allows me to install policies for specific options, a specific person, or a specific group. The policy layers are very detailed, which I appreciated greatly. The effectiveness of Symantec Protection Engine's Threat Intelligence Network in protecting against evolving threats is beneficial for the proxy because it has a threat risk level. Symantec officially supports levels 1 through 10, and I would consider levels 8 through 10 acceptable, while levels 5 through 7 are warnings. This system is helpful for customers. In threat protection, the categorization is excellent because Symantec provides strong support for it. Symantec effectively supports categorization, specifying which sites are threat sites, and when I set a suspicious category to deny, it functions effectively. I do not use the real-time content scanning feature with Symantec Protection Engine; I only use the web proxy structure. My overall rating for this product is 7.
Symantec Protection Engine scans incoming content and occasionally raises alerts if it detects anything concerning. It is currently deployed on-premises in our environment. I recommend others consider using Symantec Protection Engine because it is cost-effective. However, I suggest opting for the cloud version instead of on-premises or hybrid deployments, as the cloud offers better scalability and easier troubleshooting. Overall, I would rate this product 8 out of 10.
