Offers endpoint protection and data loss prevention functionality
The console is in the cloud, while some of the software runs on on-prem endpoint devices. We use Seqrite Endpoint Security as an antivirus product for its data loss prevention functionality. We configure it to define the types of files that can be attached to emails, and then we receive notifications regarding these actions. Most environments have a sizable number of endpoints. Typically, such environments already have a firewall, providing first-level protection. We have two resources to provide support. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. It has still not been deployed in large numbers, so I'm unsure if it caters to all security environments. It can reasonably care for smaller setups of around a hundred user clients. For larger numbers of users, it might require a different kind of product.

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 Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"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."
"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 solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I appreciate most about Symantec Endpoint Security is that it's easy to manage compared to other tools I have worked with, such as minimal endpoint security, McAfee, and CrowdStrike."
"Managing SEP is very easy, and also troubleshooting part is easily managed."
"The best thing about Symantec is its ability to control our endpoints from a single point. You can manage the antivirus definitions, upgrades, remote scanning, etc., from one console."
"Some of the most valuable features were antivirus, malware, and spyware. They were really good."
"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"SEP, the entire suite of components, provides good endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"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's integration capabilities are moderate and could 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."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"I think the CPU dependence should be enhanced."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"The technical support could be a bit better."
"I would like to see improvements in the scanning part of the solution, specifically to enhance the CPU and hard disk usage during scanning and updates to prevent disruption during work hours."
"The enterprise edition does not report attacks on external devices."
"As for some features I would like to see, I'd like a retrospective action feature similar to Cisco Secure Endpoint's. Some antiviruses don't allow you to re-scan a product that was in the former scan—for example, if a file was classified as proper, but then for some reason the file was changed, we need an antivirus with retrospective capability. We need EPP and EDR products in a secured environment."
"The support can be wanting. Sometimes the time to resolution is longer than I would expect."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"The pricing is a little bit more expensive than other competitors, if you compare it to Kaspersky, for example, or McAfee."
"The licensing costs are huge compared to what is normally included in the licensing with other products such as the Microsoft products that we're using. We're paying between $300 and $400 per seat."
"It's pretty awesome price-wise. That's why we give it to most of our clients. It isn't very expensive. Compared to Cisco AMP, which is very expensive, its price is okay. It's also cheaper than Malwarebytes."
"The licensing terms can range from subscription-based to perpetual, to annual, to tri-annual."
"The problem is Symantec is more expensive than other vendors."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is an expensive solution."
"It is cheap. It is especially cheaper than Malwarebytes, which is three times higher than this. It is also cheaper than Cisco. Its price is almost similar to Bitdefender, Gravity, and CloudZone."
