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."
"It's a good proxy to control the user's access to the website."
"Some important features that are included are the built-in firewall and device control."
"There are no issues with scalability."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"This solution helps in that I can control quite a few computers from our central location, with ease."
"The most valuable feature is the automated updating feature."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is very stable, and I would rate it ten out of ten for stability."
"It's a robust product."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"We had trouble with the advanced features, such as the firewall builder and all the network protection modules. We were having a lot of issues because it would sometimes block users or the printing, or it would create issues with the network access resources."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to manage the endpoints a bit further. A valuable attribute would be the management of software inventory, software deployment, and third-party software deployment. I would like to see the ability to deploy and delete unlicensed software. Many users try to install what they shouldn't, so that would be really useful."
"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."
"I would like to see improvements in the anti-virus and the device control features."
"After selling this product, what we have observed is that the system gets slower, which is a major issue."
"There is room for improvement in the zero-day threat detection system."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Each annual client license is around 1200 or 1600 INR."
"One great benefit is we do not need to activate a license for every endpoint. The price is fair."
"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 is okay. Symantec has a very granular licensing model, so you only buy what you need."
"The price of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is okay. When comparing the price of this solution is not expensive."
"The EDR options are costlier than other products."
"Zero-day threat or advanced attacks should be part of the endpoint. The product should not require you to buy a separate license."
"We have some customers on a one-year license and others on a three-year license."
