"The solution is pretty stable."
"Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action."
"In general terms, it is working properly and according to our expectations. The comfort of feeling secure is the most valuable. Some customers had certain fears about changing the product because no one wants to lose any kind of information or to have some problems or inconsistencies while migrating from one product to another."
"I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot."
"In my experience, it's not really user-friendly for me, in terms of how I navigate with the ePolicy Orchestrator. They need to upgrade their management console."
"The solution takes up too much CPU and memory."
"Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox."
"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."
"Technical support doesn't really offer fast response times."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."
"There are a lot of vulnerabilities and viruses and malware can proliferate."

"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"The security could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine."
"They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share."
