Symantec Endpoint Encryption vs ZENworks Suite comparison

"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action."

"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."

"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."

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

"The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them."

"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."

"The stability is good."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

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

"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."

"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."

"It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad."

"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."

"The solution does not have endpoint control."

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

"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."

"If they could introduce it on the cloud, it would be ideal."

"I'm not on the most current version, however, I know one area that I didn't get into that I kind of wanted to is to have a mobile device management tool. My understanding is it's improved a lot from the version I have. It may be a feature that is already available."

"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."

"The license is not very expensive."

"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."

"The licensing costs yearly are $5000."

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

"The cost of this solution is a little on the higher side."

"The pricing is fair but there is variability in our area that needs to be addressed."

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