"I like the solution for its encryption.""The installation process is pretty straightforward.""Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective.""The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date.""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.""It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines.""It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution."

"Offers very good endpoint security solutions.""Very good interface.""The solution is good overall. All of its features are good.""The disk encryption is great.""The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software.""It's a secure and quick solution.""The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security.""Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."

Cons
"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection.""The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition.""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.""The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily.""The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating.""The initial setup is very complex.""There needs to be support for blocking the sending of files by email because even if you block or remove an external disk, the files are not protected.""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."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom.""I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud.""The solution does not have endpoint control.""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.""They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share.""It was hard to install and took us about three months.""More features need to be included in the encryption software.""The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed."

More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Should have more features of Deep Scanning""We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software.""There are recovery issues that arise.""To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically.""Integration and support could be improved.""In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful.""I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
