The solution has given us visibility into compliance within our whole system and helped us ensure everything is updated

Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that. Only the approved software on the ATM should run. Anything outside that should not even come up at all. We did this so that an outside person doesn't introduce malicious software to the ATM. That's the essence of locking down with application control. Using Symantec for application control has been hectic, so I use Carbon Black to do the lockdown. Checking that data security will work fine with Carbon Black. Carbon Black worked fine. Setting up approval in Carbon Black works differently than Symantec. In Symantec, we first need the fingerprints of the applications running underneath. Before setting up Carbon Black, you first install the agent, allowing it to learn the environment. It will analyze all the software's behavior and provide recommendations for what should be allowed. It's more straightforward, whereas configuring application control in Symantec is a bit cumbersome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."

"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."

"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."

"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."

"The convenience has been great."

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."

"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."

"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."

"With a single console, you get control over Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. This control is most valuable."

"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."

"The centralized console is great for us. It gives us one centralized console to manage all of the endpoints."

"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."

"The solution can be scaled to handle different threats."

"The firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected."

"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."

Cons

"User management could be improved."

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"The interface is slow."

"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

"The solution needs to improve stability."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

"This solution is resource-heavy."

"Nowadays, threats are changing, and they are moving more towards script control and zero-day attacks. So, we would like to have more control similar to an EDR solution. Symantec Endpoint Protection has certainly come a long way as a traditional antivirus, but because the threats are changing, we would like to have more EDR features so that we have a detailed view of the source from where the infection entered the environment and whether it has tried to connect any other endpoint. It should provide such a detailed view for investigation. It should protect against zero-day threats, etc. These are the key enhancements that can make it a complete solution for any enterprise. Currently, we have seen organizations going for two solutions: antivirus and EDR. With both these capabilities, it would be a complete package."

"There have been some complaints about the visibility of current licensing, as sometimes it does not show all the seats, and customers have trouble getting a complete overview of Symantec licenses."

"It needs to die. In my opinion, Symantec was a really great security company, 10, 15 years ago. They went out, they bought all the great tools and then they never did anything with them. So they've just fallen behind and there's nothing that's going to work now to bring them back up the date that's going to regain user confidence."

"The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface."

"If there is a suspicious file, it is put into a sandbox where Symantec does an analysis. After the analysis, Symantec marks the file as a risk, but it doesn't blacklist or block the file. If a file is already known to be harmful, I would like them to automatically block or blacklist it to reduce the damage."

"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."

"If a machine is infected by ransomware, it's hard to recover the data. We don't have any data on the client, so we're not overly concerned about that. Still, it would be nice to have this feature if there are any future problems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."

"The license isn't expensive."

"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."

"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."

"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."

"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pricing and cost advice

"Zero-day threat or advanced attacks should be part of the endpoint. The product should not require you to buy a separate license."

"The pricing is a little bit more expensive than other competitors, if you compare it to Kaspersky, for example, or McAfee."

"The EDR options are costlier than other products."

"The prices fluctuate, but this year I think it was maybe around $12,000."

"I am not sure of the initial cost, but the yearly renewals are quite affordable, which is a good thing. The price seems to have come down in recent years, and with the alternatives that are out there, such as Microsoft Defender, it needs to maintain that affordability to make it attractive."

"One great benefit is we do not need to activate a license for every endpoint. The price is fair."

"Each annual client license is around 1200 or 1600 INR."

"It provides a good solution at a good price."
