Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards.""The most valuable feature is Click-time URL protection.""The incident management on the solution is very good. You get a lot of detailed information about an incident. You also get a lot of documentation in connection with the CVI or integration.""All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides.""Real-time threat analysis is quick and takes action on threats immediately.""Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control.""Endpoint to network protects the line.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

"It is stable and reliable.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""It is very scalable.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."

Cons
"The administration interface needs a lot of improvement. It should be UI based, and simple. They need to improve it. It's pretty much not that friendly compared to what we were using as Bitdefender before. It's okay but is improving, actually.""Not ideal for advanced threat protection.""There are some ‎features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered.""It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled.""The support has dropped down to a five out of ten.""There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed.""It's a strange situation where the infrastructure of the consumer or customer is behind some kind of firewall and they have always used some kind of customized proxy. In this situation, the ATP has a very tough time to pass the information to the cloud and back. To fix, it requires a more elaborate and complex configuration for that particular case.""The product's support services need improvement."

More Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Cons →

"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."

    Overview

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is a single unified solution that uncovers, prioritizes, and remediates advanced attacks. The product fuses intelligence from endpoint, network, and email control points, as well as Symantec’s massive global sensor network, to stop threats that evade individual security products. It leverages your existing Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Email Security.cloud investments, so it does not require the deployment of any new agents. You can deploy a new installation of Symantec Advanced Threat Protection and start to discover suspicious activity in under an hour. Using the proven technology in Symantec Insight reputation based detection, Symantec SONAR behavioral analysis with the new Symantec Cynic sandbox and file analysis platform, Symantec Advanced Threat Protection provides better detection and prioritization than other vendors, allowing security analysts to “zero in” on just those specific security events of importance.
