Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Hakeem_Abdulkareem - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution has given us visibility into compliance within our whole system and helped us ensure everything is updated
Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that. Only the approved software on the ATM should run. Anything outside that should not even come up at all. We did this so that an outside person doesn't introduce malicious software to the ATM. That's the essence of locking down with application control. Using Symantec for application control has been hectic, so I use Carbon Black to do the lockdown. Checking that data security will work fine with Carbon Black. Carbon Black worked fine. Setting up approval in Carbon Black works differently than Symantec. In Symantec, we first need the fingerprints of the applications running underneath. Before setting up Carbon Black, you first install the agent, allowing it to learn the environment. It will analyze all the software's behavior and provide recommendations for what should be allowed. It's more straightforward, whereas configuring application control in Symantec is a bit cumbersome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"Its ease of use in deploying it and regular updates are most valuable."
"Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes."
"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"The centralized console is great for us. It gives us one centralized console to manage all of the endpoints."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"The solution offers very good security features and is comparable to Sophos."
 

Cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The solution is very difficult to uninstall. There isn't really a way to uninstall the product at all, which is quite a headache."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"Users mostly complain that the solution slows down the system whenever something is scanned."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."
"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."
