An affordable tool that is easy to learn
The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seqrite developed a feature that can help restore deleted data. If there is a ransomware attack, our company can restore the data as Seqrite keeps a copy in an encrypted and complex format. If there is any ransomware attack, our company can restore the data. If the data is deleted by any of the users in our company, and if we want to recover it, then it can be done through the process that the tool uses to restore data during a ransomware attack. There is a command through which users can recover the data from the laptop.

Provides stable and resource-efficient protection but lacks clear modern security features
Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is highly compatible and rarely causes disruptions in production. It operates transparently and is easy to maintain. The automated response feature helps to mitigate breaches effectively. When comparing with ThreatDown agent, I have noticed that ThreatDown detects behaviors more readily and flags suspicious user activities more clearly. While Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise remains effective, ThreatDown's user interface is more manageable and provides a clearer system overview. The management interface is crucial for maintaining Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise effectively. A significant advantage of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is its lightweight resource usage. It consumes less memory, CPU, and IO compared to alternatives such as ThreatDown and Bitdefender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The convenience has been great."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The firewall management and intrusion prevention are excellent; those are the critical differences between Symantec and most other products on the market, as they don't manage Windows Firewall or offer intrusion prevention."
"We use the solution for detection."
"The solution has integrated some AI tools for the automation of tasks."
"It doesn't require an on-premises server to manage it. It allows us to monitor the machine to check if it is up-to-date and not lagging."
"Anti-malware is the most valuable feature. We trust Symantec for protection, and we like the idea that Symantec is preventing us from accessing certain websites that are known for containing malware."
"Managing the dashboard is straightforward and efficient. I appreciate the convenience of accessing all alerts in one place and find configuring policies to be a simple process. Creating and deploying policies to agents is easily accomplished, and the communication between agents and servers is effectively implemented. These aspects are what I find favorable about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"The primary feature of the solution is antivirus scanning with IPS. It blocks viruses and uses a signature database, ensuring robust protection when configured correctly to meet our requirements."
"The endpoint protection features are valuable."
 

Cons

"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"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."
"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."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."
"When we asked the support team to relicense the original piece, the team ghosted us."
"We are currently looking at CrowdStrike as a replacement option because on-prem support is going away under Symantec."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard."
"Symantec should revamp its graphical user interface."
"The platform could be improved for beginners as it wasn't intuitive to manage initially."
"The product is a bit resource-intensive."
"Symantec is selling Endpoint Detection Response as a different solution. If it was incorporated in this solution it would be a good thing. This is what the other vendors are doing, such as CrowdStrike. They offer Endpoint Protection(EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response(EDR) in the same product. If Symantec had something similar, it would be good for customers, they would not need to purchase two different products and then integrate them. They can have a single agent doing two tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license isn't expensive."
"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."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"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 solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The price of the solution is very low. There is an annual subscription to use the solution."
"The license for Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is paid, but there is a trial for 60 days."
"The price of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is expensive. When compared to other solutions they should reduce the price."
"The cost of the solution is reasonable."
"We have Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise, and it's very competitively priced. However, there is a considerable jump in price for upgrading to the EDR, so that's more compatible with enterprise-level organizations."
"The product is not very expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. For most organizations, the cost is between 70 and 100 dollars per user. The exact price depends on the selected features and the number of users. It's considered a premium cost for an enterprise Endpoint security solution."
