Featured Reviews

Rishad Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Kumbesh Rajagopal - PeerSpot reviewer
Management becomes easier with minimal complications, but improvement in support tools needed
Regarding areas of improvement for Symantec Endpoint Security, there are many changes, and the support portal tool is complicated compared to other tools. When trying to get service from Symantec, the process is complex. I'm not sure whether it's because of my project or something else. Though it is easy to manage, easy to get, easy to install, and works efficiently for managing policies, we faced a significant disadvantage. We wanted to add multiple hashes because of numerous new alerts coming, but we could only add them one by one, which is a considerable disadvantage in Symantec.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
"The solution installs very easily."
"The product has valuable features for insights."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution is easy to use."
"With a single console, you get control over Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. This control is most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"The solution offers very good security features and is comparable to Sophos."
 

Cons

"The security is too week and needs improvement."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"I would like to see fileless attack protection."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
"They need to develop a multi-language interface."
"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."
"They provide the updates of the client, and those clients need a reboot after the upgrade, which is something we don't like. We don't like to reboot the server after the upgrade because we have live applications. If we do a reboot, it can impact the business as well."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing terms can range from subscription-based to perpetual, to annual, to tri-annual."
"Pricing and licensing are important to us when choosing a product."

"One great benefit is we do not need to activate a license for every endpoint. The price is fair."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is competitive if compared to its competitors in the market."

"There is a yearly license."
