Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise Reviews

My main use of this solution is for endpoint protection.

The product's security features could be improved - it is still possible for hackers to penetrate your servers even when using it. 

I've been working with this solution for two to three years.

This solution's performance is good, and we've never had any issues with its stability.

This solution is scalable.

Symantec's technical support is fine.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

I would rate this solution ten out of ten.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is a typical solution that provides security on your endpoints, and gives protection from malware.

What we liked the most about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise was its simplicity.

Our company started using it even before I joined, so I don't know what was the drive at that point in time, but Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise has been a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the category "Endpoint Protection Platform" or EPP. We are closely following Gartner's recommendations, but Symantec got acquired, and after the acquisition, their technical support was not very good, so we moved from Symantec to CrowdStrike.

What I would like to see in the next release of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is more stability.

We've used Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise for 17 years, and we've used it in the last year.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to be a stable product, but in the last three years, it went from excellent to poor, in terms of stability.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise has very good scalability.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise used to provide good technical support, but after they were acquired, their support changed and wasn't as good.

We used CrowdStrike.

My focus is on security. We are on the journey towards the right security. We're choosing the right security solutions. Currently, we are finalizing and choosing between two security solutions, e.g. identity management solutions that we are still evaluating.

We used the latest version of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise, and it was on-premises.

For the deployment of this solution, if we need to roll it out to our entire organization, it would take at least one and a half months. We only needed two to three people to take care of the deployment and maintenance of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise.

We used to have 800 users of this solution within our organization, but now we have zero users.

I'm not recommending this solution to other people.

I'm rating Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise six out of ten.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is used for endpoint security.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise a seven out of ten.

We have a lot of government and non-government customers here in UAE who normally use Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise.

Most of the deployments are on-premise. There is a counterpart, but the problem is with a few customers don't want the data to go to the cloud. There is a Symantec Endpoint Security service, which is the same as the protection manager on-premise, but it's on the cloud.

Generally, people prefer building their own virtual environment. They prefer hosting everything on-premise, to allow them to have more control.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise provides our customers with needed signature-based AV. In addition, they have built-in IPS, Sonar, and a lot of other technologies that, traditionally, Symantec technology provides.

The solution solves the requirement of my organization. Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is a basic solution, it's a standard EV, with a few more features.

The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are the proactive threat protection and the normal spyware protection which they offer in addition to catching standard threats. It all works well for us even without an EDR.

Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing. This is what the other vendors are doing, such as CrowdStrike. They offer Endpoint Protection(EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response(EDR) in the same product. If Symantec had something similar, it would be good for customers, they would not need to purchase two different products and then integrate them. They can have a single agent doing two tasks.

I have been using Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise for approximately eight years.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is quite stable. we have had it for a long time and people have faith in it. 

We have not heard a lot of complaints from our customers regarding the stability.

The scalability is something that they have built-in to the solution because you can use multiple replication partners. They have a concept of replication partners where, when you want to scale up or if you want to have multiple nodes, you can create multiple replication partners in multiple databases. Most of my customers are using this concept where they have multiple sites, such as a production site, where they have replication already. You can create policies in one region and you can replicate them across multiple regions.

The administrators use the solution regularly, but for the end-users, it is working by default.

We have approximately 25 customers and each has more than 1000 licenses.

The standard support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good. However, there is a separate vertical within Broadcom or Symantec, which we connect with for a custom white list. We had a custom application, which was being detected as a threat where it shouldn't have. 

The time required for us to contact Symantec, to mark the application as benign takes a very long time. They have a very long procedure, that should be shortened, it would be good for us. We've already given the suggestion to Broadcom to do it.

The implementation of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is traditional, it's not very complicated. They have a very simple centralized solution, which consists of a manager, database, and clients, it's very simple.

Deployment of this product doesn't take very long. If everything goes well, it can be done in under a week, even the most complex implementations. The agent rollouts take time, but building the infrastructure can be done in a week.

We push some of the deployment responsibility to the customer because they have their own solutions. Some may have Desktop Sentinel or SCCM, it depends on what kind of deployment products they have. Although, this Symantec comes with its own, deployment tool. If the customer doesn't have a deployment tool this solution has the capability to deploy agents, it is in their manager management console.

The administrator is going to do daily maintenance activities.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Kaspersky and CrowdStrike.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is a hassle-free solution and people are looking for a quick, traditional AV this solution is a good option. They have been in the market for a very long time and they have the maximum number of signatures, such as Kaspersky. They have a competitive edge over the other vendors in the market, at least from a historical point of view, they have a very big database.

These days the traditional AV doesn't suffice. You need to have that advanced functionality that comes with a solution, such as CrowdStrike. It has everything in one solution, you don't have to purchase multiple solutions and have the problem of integrating all of them together. If can have one solution which is lightweight, doesn't disturb the end-users, causes minimum issues, you should choose that particular solution.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise a seven out of ten.

The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently.

In the future, Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should improve the firewall and documentation.

I have been using Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise for approximately 10 years.

I have found Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise to be stable.

Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is scalable.

Our clients are typically medium-sized businesses.

The technical support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise was great.

I did not use another solution previously.

The setup of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise was easy. The time it takes for the implementation is approximately one month.

The cost of the solution is reasonable.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise a nine out of ten.
