"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"Symantec isn't good in terms of updating customers about updates. You'd normally have to search it out. Sometimes, the update process for the administration and management console can be a bit intimidating, and it can be quite inconvenient to get the updates. That's because when you have to do the update, you have to update the management console, and then you need to update the clients. Their application that's installed on desktops and servers needs to go hand in hand with the management console. Sometimes, it's a bit unwieldy to see that process through."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"The virus definitions could be updated more frequently."
"Is not a full anti-ransomware solution."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"If there is a suspicious file, it is put into a sandbox where Symantec does an analysis. After the analysis, Symantec marks the file as a risk, but it doesn't blacklist or block the file. If a file is already known to be harmful, I would like them to automatically block or blacklist it to reduce the damage."
