Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."
"It is fairly stable."
"The initial setup was easy."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"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."
"There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"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."
"The UI could be improved."
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
"It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP"
