Cons
"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release.""They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share.""More features need to be included in the encryption software.""Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine.""The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around.""The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed.""The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines.""The solution does not have endpoint control."

"The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone.""When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually.""Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful.""There is always room for improvement in security.""Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates.""Contact Backup.""This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware.""There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow."
