"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable.

"Speed"

"The agent shouldn't use up so many resources at the endpoint when scanning and protecting."
"Must push to EXE files to the endpoints."
"If a machine is infected by ransomware, it's hard to recover the data. We don't have any data on the client, so we're not overly concerned about that. Still, it would be nice to have this feature if there are any future problems."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. It is not a straightforward tool to use. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better. It is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
