"Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"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."
"Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"It is stable."
"We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive."
"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."
"Technical support doesn't really offer fast response times."
"When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently."
"The licensing cost for McAfee Total Protection could be cheaper, but apart from that, I don't need anything else. The software has what I need."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"The UI needs to be simplified."

"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."
"It was hard to install and took us about three months."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."
"They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"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."
