Helps us block ports, like TCP and UDP, and we don't need to use Active Directory GPOs to block anything
One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools. For example, EDR gives me some applications with a version linked to a CVE or a MITRE attack. That's really interesting, But we don't know about other software that is installed and that means we need to install and use other software on the workstation to collect that information. If Symantec could do that, it would help managers improve their security, as they would know all the software installed on each device. Because Symantec is already installed on a workstation, it would not be difficult for the agent to collect information about the software installed. It wouldn't need to do anything other than collect and share the information. That would be a huge advantage for the administrator. The more information we have about a device, the more secure we can make it. For example, there are types of software that can open a port that an attacker can use. If we know that such software is installed, we could just act before something happens. If Symantec could collect that software information, it would be amazing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The solution is easy to use"
"Protection from viruses, malware, Trojans, and malicious files is most valuable. It is also good in terms of application control. I can control the type of external media that can be connected with endpoint devices and protect them from malicious files and devices such as USB."
"The solutions' main features are patch management and security."
"The technical support is very good. They have an Indian support team, so there are no delays in receiving support."
"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"I have found the solution to be very scalable, we have 700 employees using the solution in our organization."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"SONAR could be improved. The false/positive rate is a little high."
"Managements' number one item on the "Wish List" would have to do with the real-time scan of external media inserted into any client."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"The stability was not the best. There were times when antivirus updates broke it. It wasn't necessarily self-updating - at least, not in terms of the virus signatures. It updated in terms of the executable files. Therefore, when Windows updates would come out, they often couldn't be installed, or the computer would hang due to the fact that the updates weren't compatible with the antivirus."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"It would be nice to have customized reports integrated on the main console with no additional DB server or BI server."
"The tool switches off automatically, and I have to restart it. Also, we had to manually fix some issues that cropped up while using the tool."
