    Has integrated well with internal systems and supported secure file server use for several years
    The most valuable function of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the integration with our current endpoint protection solution and its administration because it is already integrated with our operating system to Microsoft. We do not have any complaints about the solution from any management perspective, as I am not involved in technical implementation. The centralized policy control in Symantec Endpoint Encryption is useful for us. We already have it implemented. The removable media encryption in Symantec Endpoint Encryption is enabled by default, though I am not interacting with it directly.
