Intekhab Ahmad. - PeerSpot reviewer
A product that offers good threat detection capabilities to its users
The product has improved my company through its area of threat detection. The other applications use the same engine as Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise. Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise does not have a set of 100 percent useful things in the tool. Sometimes, a user may know that a file system does not contain any viruses, but it is labeled as a virus by Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise, making it an issue for users. The aforementioned problem prompts me to contact the product support team via email so that my company can get some help dealing with such problems. I would say that my experience with deploying the product across multiple devices in my company is not tough and can be easy, especially if you have domain environments. The feature of the product that is the most effective for threat prevention stems from the fact that the tool provides updates. The main problem with the solution is that a user has to do the updates manually, so at times, the product is not useful, especially when the machine has to be shut down for updates when new viruses are introduced on the market. I rate the solution's ease of use and administration a seven and a half out of ten. I suggest that those who plan to buy the solution periodically update the product, especially in the area of the virus engine. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It secures my environment."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"Endpoint protection solution with machine learning, device control, and application control features. It is scalable and stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"We use the solution for detection."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"It doesn't require an on-premises server to manage it. It allows us to monitor the machine to check if it is up-to-date and not lagging."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is it runs in the backend and looks after the security for you."

Cons

"One thing that could be easier is initiating scans."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing. This is what the other vendors are doing, such as CrowdStrike. They offer Endpoint Protection(EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response(EDR) in the same product. If Symantec had something similar, it would be good for customers, they would not need to purchase two different products and then integrate them. They can have a single agent doing two tasks."
"Symantec should revamp its graphical user interface."
"I believe an improvement could be made in Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise by incorporating a URL blocking feature within the same product. Currently, it requires a separate subscription and agent installation, which I think could be more streamlined for unified management from a single agent."
"When we asked the support team to relicense the original piece, the team ghosted us."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"The solution's management dashboard could be improved. An easier-to-use threat-hunting dashboard would make life easier for security analysts. Its support needs to improve for the African region."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is very low. There is an annual subscription to use the solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. For most organizations, the cost is between 70 and 100 dollars per user. The exact price depends on the selected features and the number of users. It's considered a premium cost for an enterprise Endpoint security solution."
"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."
"I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise's pricing a two out of ten."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"The cost of the solution is reasonable."
"I would rate it a seven, indicating a satisfactory and moderate level. Despite being somewhat on the expensive side, it aligns with our long-standing relationship with Symantec, and we find it acceptable."
"It's not the cheapest, but it's reasonably priced, around a five on a scale from one to ten. It's suitable for small, medium, and enterprise businesses and offers competitive pricing. There are no additional costs; it's a renewable purchase, either annually or as needed."
