"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."

"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
