Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.
YusufAhmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and competitively priced
Honestly, the product needs to continue the way it is, and I feel that everything will be fine. I haven't had any reasons to complain about the product. The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model. In the future, I want the product to offer MDM. It can allow me to manage my mobile device more efficiently and effectively. Currently, there is a need for a separate license to be added to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response to be able to use the MDM part. If both are bundled up under the same license, the administration part can be made easier.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"There are times when Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response tags an executable as malicious when it is trying to get executed on the machine. In this case, it prevents the execution and it gives you a process view of things where you can look into what has happened and whether it is a genuine process trying to access some system activities, or it's a malicious one. Depending upon the process, it gives you a clear identification, and we can do the containment from the interface itself and isolate the machine from the network. The process review on network isolation is good."
"A great feature of this solution is that it is very well-integrated with antivirus software. Other ADR solutions are implemented as single technologies and are not integrated with the provider, but Symantec offers AV plus ADR."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"A significant deterioration in customer support."
"The interface is very complicated."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."
"The solution needs to provide better integration."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"We have a yearly subscription, and the pricing is fair."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Of late, because of the Broadcom purchase, its price has been increasing."
"The more devices we have the more expensive it becomes, which is where the challenge is."
"Compared to the tools of competitors, Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is a cheaply priced product."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
