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…

The real-time visibility is excellent because it uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect advanced threats
Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise helps us meet regulatory requirements for payment card industries. We must use next-generation antivirus to comply with PCI regulations. The solution protects our network environment, data, and devices. Symantec is an innovative solution. They're always upgrading the product, and the signatures are constantly updated on the cloud side, and the signatures update on my machine three or four times. Symantec stays ahead of novel viruses and malware using machine learning and next-generation technology It helps us adopt a multilayered approach to security that incorporates behavioral analysis to detect threats that a signature-based solution can't protect us against. I rate Symantec's Endpoint Security Enterprise Single Agent System an eight out of ten for attack surface reduction, attack prevention, and breach prevention. A single breach can impact the company's reputation. The return on investment is always great because we are confident that Symantec will protect our users and data. Symantec Global Intelligence Network helped us reduce false positives by 20 to 30 percent, so we aren't spending as much time investigating these alerts. This frees up resources to do something else. Two of our people working on Symantec also have other responsibilities.

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."
"We rely on Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise to safeguard our computer systems from malware. Occasionally, we have encountered issues related to antivirus or malware, but overall, the application has been instrumental in addressing these concerns."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is it runs in the backend and looks after the security for you."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution is very cheap."
"It is very easy to use. The user interface is friendly."
"Stable with good customer service."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"I believe an improvement could be made in Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise by incorporating a URL blocking feature within the same product. Currently, it requires a separate subscription and agent installation, which I think could be more streamlined for unified management from a single agent."
"The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."
"Needs to be more user-friendly; lacks a simple way to search data."
"The solution's management dashboard could be improved. An easier-to-use threat-hunting dashboard would make life easier for security analysts. Its support needs to improve for the African region."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise could improve by giving notifications regarding identified threats."
"The solution's browser protection in Chrome needs to be improved, as it's the most troublesome aspect of the tool. I have two devices where the browser protection failed, an issue that has yet to be fixed for two months. When updates occur, the client restarts, and the browser protection for Chrome malfunctions. Broadcom needs to improve their ability to hijack a browser session to filter web traffic because that's important, as well as site blocking. This element is missing in the product; most companies have firewalls with web content filtering to prevent employees from accessing specific sites."
