What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
It seems to be excellent as an antivirus function. Signature updates are also speedy with the most prevalent virus removal tools. It is possible to start virus scanning at a fixed time, and the operation is not too heavy, so even if it begins in the background, it does not affect other processes. The vulnerability detection rate is high.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
There was some instability in Windows 7 days, but recently it has been stable. I am grateful to be able to stop what is running on the back end by specifying an application. The point is that you can schedule a virus scan. Even if you run a virus scan in the background processing, the PC operation does not become sluggish.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Nothing in particular. I would like them to improve security when using smartphones. Recently, when I am talking on the phone, the sounds when pressing the button make a lot of noise. I would like them to strengthen there.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The risk of virus infection was reduced by automatically blocking access to suspicious sites when surfing the web. Because it is possible to register a virus scanning program, it is now possible to quickly detect the risk of virus infection. Leaks decrease the risk of critical information outside the company. As this antivirus software was installed when distributing PCs to employees, antivirus countermeasures can be applied regardless of the employee's security knowledge. The most significant advantage is that there have been no internal incidents. When ransomware was prevalent, we were able to prepare the removal tools in advance.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Efficient Service
