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.
Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The setup is quite easy."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is its ability to conduct large scans on the endpoints without affecting the network."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is stable."
"The solution does all that we expect it to do."
"IPS and the user interface are good features."
"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."
"I have not received any complaints about the performance."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"The most valuable feature is user-based policy provision."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
 

Cons

"The interface is very complicated."
"I think we have experienced some technical issues because the company focuses mainly on bigger clients. Also, sometimes the solution fails to detect zero-day attacks, so that feature needs some enhancement because it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"The network forensics feature could be improved."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"The way that signatures work when using this solution could be improved. They could be more user friendly. We would like the ability to select a client's signature from a menu or file share to save time."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"Looking at the current ePolicy orchestrator, and the transition of most vendors to the cloud, they need to do an improvement with the current dashboard or the overall aesthetic of their GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is really high and it should be lower."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"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."
"It's a yearly subscription."
"We pay around $100,000 for 5000 licenses every year."
"The product is cheap."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Microsoft Defender is not cheap and from a cost perspective, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a better option."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
