Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

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

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection."
"The most valuable feature is the virus and malware detection capability."
"One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates."
"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"The dashboard view and reporting are valuable. It is stable and easy to integrate, and it provides custom options."
"Endpoint Protection is the next generation. It covers antivirus, spamware, ransomware..."
"It's a robust product."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The artificial intelligence of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security could be better."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
"It would be nice to have customized reports integrated on the main console with no additional DB server or BI server."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"If the agent can be minimized so that it can work with in-memory concepts, that would be ideal. As of now, it is file-based, signature-based."
"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."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Regarding the licensing, it was important negotiate a long contract to get a more attractive price, including advanced support in case of crisis."
"Zero-day threat or advanced attacks should be part of the endpoint. The product should not require you to buy a separate license."
"This is not the cheapest product and I know others that are most cost-effective, although it is difficult to compare because it depends on the features."
"Symantec is expensive."
"When it comes to pricing, Sophos is preferrable to Symantec."
"The pricing was one of the factors that led us to choose this product."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is a moderately priced solution."
"It could be cheaper."
