"Offers some good protection features.""The solution is very user-friendly and valuable.""You can manage your compliance in line with legislation such as GDPR and POPIA.""Enables customization of file types and for different scenarios.""The initial setup process was easy.""The stability of the solution can be good.

"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities.""It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""The solution is pretty stable.""The encryption feature is very good.""Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective.""The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself.

Cons
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices.""The response time for technical support could be faster.""The tool is too expensive to be an add-on to the main solution. They could launch it independently so that costs can be lowered.""You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations.""There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices.""The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time.""They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly.""In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."

"We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive.""The initial setup is very complex.""Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool.""The product uses a lot of resources and because of this it is not always a good solution for every situation.""When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently.""The UI needs to be simplified.""Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox.""The user interface is messy and could be simplified."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release.""The security could be improved.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP""Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine.""One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom.""The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed.""The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."
