A user-friendly endpoint security solution with anti-ransomware and data loss protection
Pros and Cons
  • "The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
  • "Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."

What is our primary use case?

Most clients in India are price-sensitive and are always looking for cost-effective solutions, especially when it comes to endpoint security, with ease of use being their top priority, followed by deployment and cost. These are the main driving factors when customers buy in India. Additionally, Seqrite Endpoint Security offers both one-year and three-year plans, which are more cost-effective and enticing for customers.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. I rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We sell close to 15-20 orders every year.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service has a good team. In India, they have a good contact center who are responsive and good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and can be done in the daytime within a day.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years.

What other advice do I have?

The product is easy to deploy. There are not many dependencies on the technical guy. Just one technical guy is enough to help in the department.

I would tell them to use the solution because it is very user-friendly and simple and does not require a technical person to manage the policies on the dashboard. Even a non-IT guy with a bit of knowledge can handle the console.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

A stable solution that can be used for antivirus purposes and blocking ransomware
Pros and Cons
  • "Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
  • "When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."

What is our primary use case?

Generally, we use Seqrite Endpoint Security for antivirus purposes. We have implemented certain policies for data popping and blocking the ransomware. Also, we are getting the data for asset management.

What is most valuable?

Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives. It has a very good logging facility. The reaction time for the policy we implement on the servers to connect to the endpoint is very fast.

What needs improvement?

When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Seqrite Endpoint Security for almost seven to eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We implemented Seqrite Endpoint Security just seven months ago, and till now, we are happy with the solution's stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have implemented Seqrite Endpoint Security for 1,000 users. We are already in the process of implementing it for 5,000 users because we have 5,000 plus users across the world.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The solution’s deployment was done in-house in our organization.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the latest version of Seqrite Endpoint Security.

Overall, I rate Seqrite Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.

Having an excellent technical support in place for its users, the solution requires minimum resources for its maintenance phase
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
  • "The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."

What is our primary use case?

Seqrite Endpoint Security is being used solely for endpoint protection.

What is most valuable?

The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good. However, there are new release notes in the current one or the new one, Seqrite Endpoint Security 8.1.

What needs improvement?

The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs. Also, the solution's threat hunting and virus detection capabilities have room for improvement.

Since in our company, we haven't deployed the latest version of the solution. I won't be able to comment on what needs to be included in the solution's next release. They have an update for the solution's DLP for the new features. They also have an update for the solution's multi-factor authenticator. The SIEM integrations in the solution also have a scope for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

Our company currently uses Seqrite Endpoint Security 7.6, and we plan to renew it for Seqrite Endpoint Security 8.1 soon. The company has been using this solution for four years now. Our company is a user of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution between eight and a half to nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Overall, each of the endpoint protection solutions have antivirus or endpoint security, possesses its own characteristics that cannot be compared. It would be like comparing an apple to an apple.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. My company has a total of 750 people using the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I did contact the solution's technical support team. It was included in the proposal stating that Seqrite Endpoint Security will provide us 24/7 support except on the weekends. I rate the solution's technical support team nine and a half out of ten since whenever we have issues, they answer and fix them. Also, the solution has not presented us with any tough incidents or challenges.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Since I've been working abroad for quite some time and considering the daily use cases, I've been using other solutions like Kaspersky. While Kaspersky may be a good solution in general, it is not the best option for use in a network since it is quite heavy. In comparison, Seqrite, which is only known in the Philippines, is not as popular abroad. When I worked overseas, I only heard about Symantec and Trend Micro. So, I can say that Kaspersky is a better choice than Seqrite.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup process for the solution is quite easy. The solution's deployment process was cloud-based.

One person is responsible for maintaining the solution, which involves checking the dashboard and conducting other related activities, such as identifying outdated or disconnected endpoints and detecting potential threats. So, two people are involved in the daily maintenance of the solution.

What about the implementation team?

We have our own technical team for the deployment process. Also, it was done with the guidelines of our authorized distributor.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive. Price-wise, presently, Seqrite is still the lowest.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are presently evaluating other solutions and comparing them to Seqrite Endpoint Security because we may have become too comfortable with it and not considered other solutions. As a result, it's possible that there are certain features or capabilities present in other solutions that are not available in Seqrite Endpoint Security. In short, maybe we are comfortable with, let's say, ninety percent, and then there is ten percent that Seqrite is not capturing. So, maybe we'll try to use the solutions which are the competitors of Seqrite, which we are not using in our current setup. As of now, we cannot decide which solution to choose because Seqrite Endpoint Security has antivirus, next-generation, and something like that. Basically, we are in the process of doing a competitive analysis between the current solution we have and its competitors or other solutions.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for security purposes. 

What is most valuable?

The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution. 

It is stable and reliable. 

What needs improvement?

The pricing could be a bit lower. It needs to be less expensive so that smaller companies would be able to afford it.

It needs to offer more customization capabilities.

I've only used the solution for a couple of months. I'm testing some things out for my organization. While this is a new solution, I do have 13 years of experience in the IT profession.

The product is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

The pricing could always be lowered for smaller companies. It would help them find room for it in their budgets.

We are end-users and are just testing the product to see if it is a good fit.

A user-friendly solution for effective internal traffic monitoring and control

What is our primary use case?

Seqrite Endpoint Security's focus on the SMB sector is well-suited for companies without static IPs or VPNs, as it allows for effective internal traffic monitoring and control. The categorization feature is handy for managing website access, and the point-to-point VPN option provides additional security for specific scenarios.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to manage, and applying rules is very easy. Also, the UI is very user-friendly.

What needs improvement?

The solution’s processing is slow. There are a lot of load performance issues when we load the stacker at low NPC. The solution could be made light.

Seqrite Endpoint Security offers comprehensive protection for all endpoints, including Android and Mac devices. This is becoming increasingly important as more schools and businesses adopt these platforms. Additionally, Seqrite Endpoint Security is easy to implement and manage, making it an ideal solution for organizations of all sizes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Seqrite Endpoint Security as a system integrator for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is highly scalable. You need to purchase an additional license.

The application is suitable for small and medium businesses.

How are customer service and support?

Support is locally managed in a call center in India. Once an issue is submitted, they are very proactive in addressing it. They are constantly working on complaints, so there are no issues in support for anything else. It is easy to maintain, install, and run, with readily available support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Seqrite offers local HR personnel through which we can quickly get guys' numbers whenever needed.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

The deployment takes about 15 to 20 minutes, whereas the client can be deployed within two to three minutes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is cheaper compared to Zoho and other multinational products. It's cheaper.

The solution has a yearly license, which covers all features.

What other advice do I have?

The solution’s maintenance is easy. It can be centrally loaded. Centralized installation enables a single setup for all devices. The solution provides comprehensive protection across your entire network with a single gateway.

There is a general lack of awareness about firewalls in India, even among IT professionals and businesses. This lack of understanding hinders the implementation and utilization of firewalls to their full potential. To address this issue, we need to raise awareness about the functionalities and capabilities of firewalls among users, businesses, and IT professionals. Once people know the benefits of firewalls, the demand for firewall training and GUI enhancements will naturally increase.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
