The solution takes a lot of time to run a full scan. The solution should include automatic updates. Users should be mindful of some performance degradation on their laptops because the solution keeps scanning for threats.
Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products. In the future, I would like Symantec Endpoint Security Complete to include features for simulating attacks and facilitating collaboration between red, blue, and purple teams for enhanced attack simulation and prevention.
There is room for improvement, particularly in the realm of behavior detection. Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial. Introducing new features could potentially enhance the utility of their EDR capabilities.

Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it.

The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture. We tried to deploy it within our hybrid management, where the clients are on-prem and the feature is in the cloud, just like the Adaptive Protection, but it's impossible. We would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it. We want to be able to manage it in hybrid mode so that we don't have to migrate all the management to the cloud to use this feature. That's the main improvement needed.

The overall support level for the solution could be increased. A limited number of hashes can be banned for our IOC. I would like to see that expanded and able to support more file types.

The installation process for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could be improved as it's not straightforward, in particular, the remote installation could be better. Installing this product is confusing. Another area for improvement is the packaging of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete. It could be simplified, e.g. instead of making a lot of confusing packages, they could make a single package like what's done in Bitdefender. You have to enable and disable the modules of the package, not different packages, as it's confusing. The console of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should also be improved, as it is confusing.

Instead of the updates, the tool needs to come up with a concept similar to zero trust.
The pricing could be better.

The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent.
