Behind the times, lacking in features

What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
Not many differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other competitors I am afraid. The tool looks to favour signature based detection compared to the more modern behaviour based detection, a companied with a cluttered reporting output.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Ease of Implementation
What do you dislike most about this product?
Behind the times. The tool seems to offer little to no innovation in comparison to other market leaders in this space such as crowdstrike or MS Defender.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Unless the price is significantly lower than Microsoft or CrowdStrike is able to offer I would seek to take on a more modern solution.
