I can't say there's really anything that I have found to dislike about the product. it does its job pretty well.

Good solution for your enterprise environment

  • June 12, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SEP offers a ton of customization from within the administrators console. You can adjust how the software deploys (scan network or target machines specifically --- or export a package and add to SCCM for deployment), installs (silent, forced reboots or not), create specific policies for groups of devices, enable disable firewall (if you use Windows firewall for example).

Server interface is very straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting features could be a lot more easy to use. The search functions are not simple, and the reporting always comes back in a funky display.

Creating file exclusions can be a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Antivirus requirements for our enterprise environment. SEP offers a complete package, with the ability to customize features and policies depending on the scope of work. AKA, we can enforce more on our at risk users, and less on our super users and trusted team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the amount of devices up front. Symantec offered different pricing options depending on the seat count that we were hoping to use.

Gets the job done

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Runs in the background without popups or otherwise interfering with computer use, doesn't seem to use up too much processing functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints here. Another program like Malware Bytes Anti Malware may be necessary to remove viruses that do make it on to PCs, but that's standard across the industry, at least in my limited experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We haven't had many virus problems! So it seems like it's working.
