Symantec Endpoint Security Reviews

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.

I can push the client out. All the antivirus updates are managed from a single central point, and it just works. 

It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both.

I have been using this solution for 15 years.

We haven't had any problems with it.

I would rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of 10. We haven't had any problems with it. It just works.

We use Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for protecting our network.

The performance of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is very good. It does not slow down the computer like other solutions.

I have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

I have found Symantec End-User Endpoint Security to be scalable.

I have used Eset Antivirus previously.

Our IT team did the implementation of the solution.

The price of the solution could be less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our routing in our corporate office and have it installed all over that place.

The solution works very well. It has a good IP signature and network.

The product offers a lot of very useful features.

It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users.  

The solution is very difficult to uninstall. There isn't really a way to uninstall the product at all, which is quite a headache.

It's also complicated to upgrade the product. They need to make these aspects much easier.

Sometimes the solution will just randomly stop working. I'm not sure why this happens.

The licensing aspects of the solution could be improved.

I haven't used the product for about five or six months at this point, so it's hard to say which features they are missing and new items may have been added since then.

I've been using the solution for the last eight to ten years.

We've never had issues with stability. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The stability is quite good and it's very reliable.

We've been in touch with technical support and have found them to be responsive and knowledgeable. We're satisfied with their level of service.

I was involved in the original setup and implementation of the solution and I found it to be quite straightforward. It's not too complex. However, it does take a good amount of time, and it would be better if it was faster or easier.

The solution needs better licensing options.

I'd recommend the solution. If the company finds that Symantec fits their requirements, they should choose it. The product offers a lot of great features.

Overall, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. If they had a way to easily uninstall the product and if we could figure out why it suddenly stops working occasionally, I'd rate it a bit higher.

This handles not just anti-virus, but a wide collection of other protective features including device and application control, network-based intrusions, and phishing attacks. It can also scan virtual machines too.

The reputation system relies on having a constant Internet connection for its operations.

There are three versions, include a cloud-based one, that are very flexible and easy to install and manage.

I use this for antivirus and email security.

It is very easy to use and keeps us secure.

It would be nice to see more antivirus features for USB control.

I have been using this solution for over 20 years.

Is it stable product, no issues so far.

It is highly scalable.

Symantec does not have local support.

Initial setup was straightforward and varies depending on machine type. I only require two engineers to maintain this tool.

I was able to implement this with one other team member.

I recommend this product and would rate it a nine out of ten.

The application and device control are valuable features, and the live update is another one. We have a schedule to check every four hours for the live update.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Symantec End-point production doesn't support the EDR function.

There are certain drawbacks regarding deployment. We have to leverage other things like PPM.
Another major drawback is that we can't do the deployment from the console itself. We have to depend on other products technically.

The reporting is not as good.

Check detection could be improved as well.

I've been using it for three years.

The support from Broadcom has been good.

The initial setup was straightforward. I think it's automatically configured, so we didn't have to do anything.

If you only want the Endpoint Protection solution, you can go with Symantec End-User Endpoint Security. It is an awesome solution.

However, in the case of a large user base, and you also have to take care of the deployment etc., then I would not recommend this solution.

I would rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security at six on a scale from one to ten.

We used this product to protect our endpoints.

This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection.

Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support. Otherwise, we had no specific point points while using this solution.

This product would be improved with the inclusion of EDR functionality.

We have been using Symantec End-user Endpoint Security for the past 10 years.

This is a reliable solution.

We have scaled without issues.

Prior to the acquisition by Broadcom, we were receiving proper technical support. Right now, we are not getting any support from them, and we are changing products as a result.

The initial setup is easy. It takes a medium-level of time to implement.

Licensing is based on a yearly subscription.

We are currently evaluating other products because we are migrating, now that we are no longer receiving the proper technical support.

This is a product that I would recommend, but only in the case that the support improves. I have spoken with friends of mine who are in the same position and not getting the proper support.

In summary, this is a good product and the only major challenge is that we are no longer getting the proper support.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

This solution has been installed within a LAN/WAN topology, with slightly more than 300 clients, give or take. 

The firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected. At the same time, illustrating in real-time the status of managed clients within the array. 

The Server Console is a very helpful tool for managing and administrating. 

Managements' number one item on the "Wish List" would have to do with the real-time scan of external media inserted into any client.

A secondary concern is software compatibility with other important networked tools: WSUS, Desktop Central, etc, without a large number of exception rules. 

We have been using Symantec Endpoint Protection for roughly three years.
