Symantec Data Center Security Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.0I deployed Symantec Data Center Security for a client, valuing its robust system lockdown feature for anomaly detection, though its complex policy structure often led to false positives. Ultimately, the client opted for Trend Micro due to Symantec's occasional stability issues.
Security Technical Manager at Modaberan Fanavari Pasargad4.5In my review of Symantec Data Center Security, I find it essential for protecting files, particularly on Linux systems. Its ease of use, robust security policies, and comprehensive features, like intrusion prevention, make it more effective than previous solutions like Gravity Zone.
Senior System Administrator - Cyber Security at Sapiens Technologies India Pvt Ltd3.5I find Symantec Data Center Security effective for enforcing access policies with its prevention and detection capabilities, though it could be refined to better recognize specific cases and enhance compatibility with common tools, making it more user-friendly and flexible.
Cyber SecOps Principal at Dotcom Security4.0We primarily use Symantec Data Center Security for system lockdown, focusing on securing legacy systems. Its robust hardening capability stands out, though improvements in virtualization support could enhance ROI, especially for legacy systems in regions like South Africa.
Engineer 4- Security Operations at a tech services company with 11-50 employees3.5I find Symantec Data Center Security valuable for its granular policy application, a feature lacking in other solutions we've used. However, agent management is challenging since it cannot be done from the console and requires additional tools.
IT Infrastructure/Systems Admin at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees4.5We use Symantec Data Center Security to secure our servers and prevent unauthorized access, benefiting from its essential security features. However, we encounter issues with process blocking and server scanning, which require improvement. We chose this product due to our existing partnership with Symantec.
