"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"The fact that it has centralized management is the most valuable feature."
"The application and device control are valuable features, and the live update is another one. We have a schedule to check every four hours for the live update."
"I like the malware threat control policy and USB blocker. In Symantec Manager, we use multiple available features, so we created firewall policies to prevent any malware attack from the network or device controls."
"When they started they found it very easy; not easy to implement but easy to use. We started with the headquarters here and later we also implemented it for all the subsidiaries in the region, in other countries. They have a centralized solution, so they can help other countries in management."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"The single-pane management is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes administrative control very easy."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The product could always be more secure."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"There is room for improvement in the zero-day threat detection system."
"The support can be wanting. Sometimes the time to resolution is longer than I would expect."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"Symantec Endpoint Security can improve management because it is difficult to do. It is not a straightforward tool to use. Additionally, the dashboards and reports could be better. It is difficult to understand what exactly is your current status."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
"We must have complete dissolution with advance care protection but we are finding out that we need more Symantec technical specialists. We have identified a need to hire at least one more technical specialist familiar with Symantec to improve our solutions capabilities."
"One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools."
