Resolve support issues promptly while optimizing system resource usage
I use the solution primarily for scanning and identifying threats, which is essential in determining the percentage of resources used, such as CPU and hard disk. It's important to balance resource consumption to maintain operational efficiency. Furthermore, the incident response capabilities allow me to resolve authentication and support issues promptly, ensuring the system operates without downtime.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"What I like most about Symantec is the intrusion detection module. If you are scanning the environment, it will flag a possible intruder and tell you the IP and where the attack is coming from. Traditional antivirus solutions will never flag that. If you have a traditional SIEM, you might be able to pick that up. Symantec is a holistic endpoint security solution, so when you scan an endpoint, Symantec will let you know that something is happening to it."
"One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates."
"The single-pane management is the solution's most valuable feature. It makes administrative control very easy."
"It's a single-agent installation with many features including wireless protection."
"Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes."
"All Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) features, such as anti-malware, zero-day attack protection, and IPS features, are valuable."
"The solution detects malware very well."
"The incident response capabilities allow me to resolve authentication and support issues promptly, ensuring the system operates without downtime."
 

Cons

"User management could be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"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."
"Automation of tasks should be improved on SEPM. It is currently manual, and we should be able to automate installation and deployment from the client side."
"It would be nice to see more antivirus features for USB control."
"After selling this product, what we have observed is that the system gets slower, which is a major issue."
"When it was directly with Symantec, the technical support was perfect. After Broadcom acquired Symantec, the level of technical support dropped."
"My personal opinion is that Symantec has too many WS.Reputation.1 detections, which could cause important computers to malfunction."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"The stability was not the best. There were times when antivirus updates broke it. It wasn't necessarily self-updating - at least, not in terms of the virus signatures. It updated in terms of the executable files. Therefore, when Windows updates would come out, they often couldn't be installed, or the computer would hang due to the fact that the updates weren't compatible with the antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"It could be cheaper."
"The problem is Symantec is more expensive than other vendors."
"The pricing is as per the environment. If all the features are there, there will be a cost for them. There were no additional costs for me. Support and other things were included in the pricing."
"What we have paid for this product is good value for the work and the services that they are providing to us."
"The price of the product is competitive if compared to its competitors in the market."
"Licensing is based on a yearly subscription."
"Zero-day threat or advanced attacks should be part of the endpoint. The product should not require you to buy a separate license."
