Muhammad Fahad - PeerSpot reviewer
Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included
The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

Resolve support issues promptly while optimizing system resource usage
I use the solution primarily for scanning and identifying threats, which is essential in determining the percentage of resources used, such as CPU and hard disk. It's important to balance resource consumption to maintain operational efficiency. Furthermore, the incident response capabilities allow me to resolve authentication and support issues promptly, ensuring the system operates without downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to install."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that I don't feel that it is there. It works in the background and doesn't interfere with my daily work. All the scans are done in the background. This is the biggest advantage of this product. It works because I have never been infected since I have been using this solution. Its interface is also very good."
"One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point."
"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"The pricing is pretty good."
 

Cons

"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
"Its interface needs improvement. Its interface is very old, and it needs a new look. Other solutions, such as Sophos and BitDefender, have a better and more modern interface, whereas Symantec has had the same interface for a while. There has been no enhancement in the interface. They should update and provide a better interface in 2022 for a better user experience for their customers."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. It is not a straightforward tool to use. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better. It is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are licensing fees."
"The licensing terms can range from subscription-based to perpetual, to annual, to tri-annual."
"The pricing is good, very moderate, and the licensing is also good. It gives you more room to install a lot of endpoints and it even gives you the opportunity to install it on your mobile phone without any extra cost."
"Its price should be reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing for our country is very good. It's not that expensive and the endpoint security is very good. It's not as cheap as some others, but they are not as good."
"When comparing this solution to others in the current market it is expensive."
"Regarding the licensing, it was important negotiate a long contract to get a more attractive price, including advanced support in case of crisis."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is a moderately priced solution."
"We pay our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and everything is included in that price."
