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…
PetriRajama - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided strong security foundations but struggles with integration and ongoing compatibility issues
It had its problems. They were rebuilding it while having the old functionality and new functionality layered on top of each other. They were migrating the functionalities to the new solution, which caused significant problems. The mobile device management was not unified with the other endpoint management, creating structural issues.

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."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for me are sandboxing and its threat-hunting capabilities."
"The tool's performance is good. It provides efficient updates quickly, even before threats are encountered in our environment. We've been using this solution for the last fifteen years and have found it very good. It helps to prevent ransomware attacks. We are already using its antivirus and firewall solutions. It has asset management and XDR features."
"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."
"It is a very reliable product."
"The feature I like the most is the Adaptive Protection... And it does not negatively affect users' activities because we can adapt it and allow binaries that are executed regularly, while forbidding those that are not executed within the company."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"Installation and packaging for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should be improved. Its console is also confusing, so that's another area for improvement."
"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Instead of the updates, the tool needs to come up with a concept similar to Veritas."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"They could improve the user interface."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is not expensive."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
