Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level

The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables. We are also getting the benefit of detection data. If I want to share data with another Oracle user then the data sharing is automatically detected. We don't need to modify anything. This is a complete security solution and all of the features that we are using are available off the shelf.

Bharath Kumar Gajula

Network Security Architect at Capgemini

Robust data protection with user-friendly deployment, competitive pricing, and comprehensive features like customizable alerts and effective detection capabilities but needs GUI improvements

The stability is relatively good. Occasionally, certain clients may experience disconnection from the management servers, requiring a manual process to rectify. Even in instances where the link is severed, restoring client connectivity can be challenging, sometimes necessitating the uninstallation and reinstallation of the software. Additionally, when clients go out of sync, we do not receive alerts, indicating an area for potential improvement. I would rate it seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."

"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."

"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."

"Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."

"The initial setup was easy."

"Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution."

"It is stable."

"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."

Cons

"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."

"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."

"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."

"One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom."

"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."

"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."

"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine."

"I would like to have less frequent updates."

"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."

"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It can be expensive. However, if you plan to scale or are at a large enterprise company, this product could be what you need."

"Depending on how many modules you will use (up to five) the licensing will be more expensive."

"Considering the fluctuation in exchange rates in our part of the world, we find it generally affordable."

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The licensing costs yearly are $5000."

"The solution is good, but it is more expensive than other solutions in the market. Other solutions, such as BitLocker are less expensive."

"Although the performance and stability of this solution are good, our challenge is the price tag. You buy the solution once, but you also have to keep on buying the licenses yearly."

"They have two solutions for encryption including Symantec Endpoint Encryption and PGP Endpoint Encryption. With one PGP license, you can deploy the two solutions. The PGP license gives you two options."
