A reliable choice for safeguarding critical server assets
One area where Symantec Data Center Security could improve is in refining its precision, especially when it comes to allowing certain parts. Right now, it is a bit like an all-or-nothing deal, and it could be improved by recognizing specific cases where certain parts should or shouldn't be allowed. Also, adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus. It should play nicely with other tools we commonly use rather than limiting our options, making it more user-friendly and flexible. Currently, with Symantec Data Center Security, we have to manually enable prevention policies to allow these patches. It would be much smoother if, by default, the system recognized and allowed these patches without needing us to intervene each time.

Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.
