Symantec Endpoint Security Complete Reviews

It is for protecting endpoints from cyber attacks, intrusions, and malware. We activated the Adaptive Protection for more sophisticated attacks, to prevent Living Off the Land Binaries from executing. Those are our main uses of the product.

When we prevent attacks, what is very important is that we don't have downtime in processes and we don't lose data. With this solution, we haven't had any attacks. Of course, we have a firewall, but Symantec is very good.

Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has helped us view activity that was not previously visible to us. Now, every malicious activity is blocked and monitored. We can view everything.

We can integrate it with our SIEM and correlate logs from all security devices in the SIEM. That way, we can monitor attacks and efficiently manage activity within the SIEM.

It also automatically increases our protection and detection coverage without heavy configuration changes. We can choose the default configuration and tune it a little bit and it is effective.

The feature I like the most is Adaptive Protection. It is a very good feature and it helps a lot. It enables enhanced security capabilities for our organization's clients and helps prevent attacks. And it does not negatively affect users' activities because we can adapt it and allow binaries that are executed regularly while forbidding those that are not executed within the company.

In case of a ransomware attack, it can prevent the binaries from executing and that helps us prevent such attacks. We simply forbid the execution of binaries that are not used within our organization. In case of an attack, the hacker cannot execute those binaries. It's forbidden and monitored and that's useful. It is important for preventing sophisticated attacks.

Also, the agent is more complete when it comes to defense and the IPS features work very well, inhibiting many attacks. And the antivirus, the new agent, has many functionalities, so the Adaptive Protection inhibits attacks when a hacker tries to execute lateral movements or to execute something on the endpoint. It's forbidden and we can isolate those on that endpoint.

The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture. We tried to deploy it within our hybrid management, where the clients are on-prem and the feature is in the cloud, just like the Adaptive Protection, but it's impossible. We would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it.

We want to be able to manage it in hybrid mode so that we don't have to migrate all the management to the cloud to use this feature. That's the main improvement needed.

I have been using Symantec Endpoint Security Complete for about two years.

The stability is good. The machines are working fine. We haven't faced any problems with the product. In our environment, there are 140 users including end-users and admins.

It is scalable.

We are a midsize enterprise so our usage is generally the same. We may add two to three users, but it's generally constant.

The technical support is very good.

Positive

We did not use another solution like this. The only solution we have used is this one from Symantec, and it is very good. We have been with Symantec for many years. We used Symantec Endpoint Protection, and then we had Symantec EDR. And now we have Endpoint Security Complete.

The antivirus server is on-prem and I have some features on the cloud, like Adaptive Protection, but our infrastructure is all on-prem.

The initial setup was not complex and customer support helped us a lot with the deployment. It took us between one and two weeks.

Our implementation strategy was to migrate the database to the new one, the new manager. Then we updated the client and configured the cloud management to be managed in hybrid mode. Finally, we applied other features for the client.

Deployment and maintenance are done by just one person in our organization, with Symantec support.

When we invest in security and we prevent attacks, the investment is valuable.

The pricing is good. It's good value for the money.

Other than the standard fees, you may have to acquire a hardware server or VMs to deploy it on-prem.

I don't know if Symantec has an XDR solution that is effective or not. We are possibly planning to acquire it.

I recommend Endpoint Security Complete. It is good at preventing malware.

We use the solution for detection. 

I am impressed with the tool's detection response. 

The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent. 

I have been working with the product for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The tool is very scalable. 

The tool's setup is easy since you have to just download the agent. You can setup the product in an hour. One engineer is sufficient to do the deployment. 

The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. The tool's maintenance is not difficult. It is very simple to manage. However, I do not recommend the cloud version. 

I like that Symantec can update directories.

Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices. 

I've been using Symantec for about four years.

Endpoint Security is scalable. 

Symantec support is good. 

Endpoint Security is very easy to set up, and it only takes one or two people.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Complete nine out of 10.

Symantec is just standard anti-virus protection.

The deployment of Symantec components could be improved.

I've been using Symantec Endpoint Security for a few years.

I'm satisfied with Symantec's stability. There aren't any performance issues. 

Symantec is scalable to a certain degree, but it's not ideal. It has its limitations. We have about 10,000 users at my company.

Symantec's support is fine. They respond quickly.

Setting up Symantec is straightforward. Our DevOps team handled the installation, so I wasn't involved, but it wasn't that complicated. They are competent people with certifications in anti-virus management. They didn't need any training or help from the vendor.

We pay the license upfront and renew it every three to five years.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Security Complete 10 out of 10. I would recommend it to others.
