Once Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed on the PC, it is easy to use and accomplishes the work we needed. It offers a choice of reports that range from a high-level overview to comprehensive information on our environment.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It offers the capacity to safeguard a variety of endpoints, including mobile phones, laptops, and desktop computers used by staff members locally or remotely. It has demonstrated to be quite successful in thwarting complex assaults. The efficiency of its intelligence network concept allows it to neutralize and stop attacks before they even begin. Online assistance provides prompt responses.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Although Symantec products are typically well-made, we eventually chose Cisco's solution since the absence of centralized control from a single console prevented it from working effectively with our Cisco security suite.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Overall, I'm really enjoying using this platform. We can adequately secure all of our company's operating systems and devices thanks to Symantec Endpoint Protection's multi-layered defenses. To find risks and weaknesses, it interfaces effortlessly with our current apps.

What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
The endpoint manager, which is part of a well-structured system that also includes a server-side manager and workstation client deployment, enables policy control across several domains, including firewall, virus protection, exception, and other areas. There are several alternatives for server and client deployment, including remote push or independent packages.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We have not experienced any issues since signing up because it is incredibly dependable. It's a typical app used in the IT business that, due to its affordability, can also be used on personal computers. Does an outstanding job of preventing harmful malware from running on the PC. The reason our company selected Symantec Endpoint is because of the comprehensive coverage they provide from viruses, and malware, as well as the constant monitoring of the data centers in which our companies operate.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The internet interface, in my opinion, is a little challenging. From the firewall's point of view, it appears a little challenging to get it to perform what you want it to, and regrettably, from my prior experience, their assistance is not helpful in this area. The user does not get much information on what Symantec finds in the background, which makes finding solutions to connection/firewall issues difficult.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is a powerful instrument to guarantee defense against malware hazards and attacks. Its several layers of protection are both reassuring and of the highest caliber. Reduce computer downtime and disruption. Maintains the privacy and security of our data by protecting it from malware and viruses. As a result, there is no need to wipe and reprogram computers, which would be costly.

- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
