Symantec Endpoint Security Reviews

• It is stable
• No maintenance is required after a successful installation phase
• It is more than a classic Anti-virus solution: both SONAR and IPS help to protect the system
• The application and device policies are great features to help administration

After the initial setup, you don’t have to worry about the AV clients. It simply works.

The management of the server is a bit complex. It takes time get used to it. When upgrading the software for clients, you have to link the upgrade package to every sub-folder, and there is no inheritance.

We have used this solution for three years.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

We needed help for one or two issues and the support team was good.

We used another product and we switched to SEP because of the costs.

The initial setup was straightforward. The ability of the package to uninstall the old AV was a big plus in my case.

I’d say SEP deserves the money.

We did not evaluable other options. Anti-virus is not something you can test in 3-4 days. The pros and cons take time to show up.

Before installation, take your time to plan how you will manage your environment. If you already have another AV, please first check if SEP can auto-uninstall the old AV.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is used to control some device access and protect endpoints.

Because of organizational changes, I dislike the entire situation. The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it.

There have been so many changes since the Broadcom acquisition, that we feel like abandoning the product.

It now has a lack of support, and they could be more knowledgeable.

We have been selling Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for more than eight years.

It is deployed both on-premises and on the cloud.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution.

We have three or four clients who still use this solution.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is bad because the support has changed.

Technical support could be more knowledgeable.

We are doing more with Forcepoint. We are not doing as much as we used to with Symantec End-User Endpoint Security.

The installation is straightforward, it's quite simple.

We require a team of two engineers to deploy and maintain this solution.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

The price could be lower.

I would not recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security a five out of ten.

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.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security came with our antivirus protection as a package. Additionally, Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager comes with it by default and it is a wonderful tool.

Symantec is very user-friendly, the interface and functions are very simple for everyone to understand. Additionally, it's a very robust system.

The solution could improve by adding encryption. If it had encryption along with antivirus it would be better.

I have been using Symantec End-User Endpoint Security for approximately 15 years.

Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is stable.

The solution is scalable.

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

The technical support of Symantec was very good earlier, but it has merged with Broadcom. There are some delays happening and I hope they are resolved soon.

The price of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is okay. When comparing the price of this solution is not expensive.

I rate Symantec End-User Endpoint Security a nine out of ten because of the endpoint protection and its antivirus capability. It takes care of all the requirements of its customers. If the solution had encryption I would have rated it a ten out of 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.
