"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action.""The solution is pretty stable.""The solution is great for large-scale deployments.""I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot.""We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities.""It is stable.""Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective.""We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
