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

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

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point."
"We are using it on 1,600 computers. All the systems and servers are protected with the Symantec solution. Our environment has an uptime of 99.9% because we never had any attack or issue related to viruses. There is zero downtime."
"The anti-virus and firewall policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The features I find the most valuable are the protection, the encryption, and the DLP."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"Offers good antivirus and local firewall."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is easy to use, fast, and good for small and medium-sized businesses."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"I think the CPU dependence should be enhanced."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"Symantec isn't good in terms of updating customers about updates. You'd normally have to search it out. Sometimes, the update process for the administration and management console can be a bit intimidating, and it can be quite inconvenient to get the updates. That's because when you have to do the update, you have to update the management console, and then you need to update the clients. Their application that's installed on desktops and servers needs to go hand in hand with the management console. Sometimes, it's a bit unwieldy to see that process through."
"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."
"The areas that need improvement include scanning issues, application control issues, and the detection of malicious files."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to other products and brands here in Mexico, the price is okay, somewhere in the middle. Our solution is unique in that it can adapt to a variety of pricing and licensing constraints considering we have the corporate, government, and academic mandates. The"
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"Pricing and licensing are important to us when choosing a product."
"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."
"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."
"It is normal. If you are an educational institute, they give you a very good discount. If you are coming from the banking side, they may or may not give you a discount. I'm working with seven companies, and normally, they get a 65% to 70% discount on everything."
"There is a yearly license."
"The price of the product is competitive if compared to its competitors in the market."
