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.

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

"There is no other endpoint solution that will help you in preventing lateral-movement attacks on Active Directory. And Active Directory is one of the more critical assets within an organization."
"I like the endpoint detection and response. That's the best feature. I also like the fact that we don't need to use a file on the computer, whereas some anti-malware solutions work with a file on the endpoint. Symantec is a very good option compared to solutions from other vendors."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"Scalability."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"It just works. We have a console, and I can see it at a glance. I don't have any problems with it at all."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"The installation was very easy."
More Symantec Endpoint Security pros
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"Trellix Endpoint Security has a full suite of DLP."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"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."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) pros
 

Cons

"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"Reporting in this solution needs improvement."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"In a few cases, when we enable the IPS/IDS feature, there are performance-related issues on the end devices. If we run quite a few features of Symantec, especially the IPS/IDF, it consumes a lot of processing and memory capacity."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"We must have complete dissolution with advance care protection but we are finding out that we need more Symantec technical specialists. We have identified a need to hire at least one more technical specialist familiar with Symantec to improve our solutions capabilities."
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"They're just starting to get into this now, but I think they can do better - they're just starting out with I think is called the SEP Cloud Console. It has more limited functionality. It will be good once we can run SEP from the cloud. That would be good."
More Symantec Endpoint Security cons
"The solution can be expensive."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"The detection and response capabilities need to be improved."
"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."
"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
More Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) cons

"When comparing this solution to others in the current market it is expensive."
