Good AV Protection

  • March 14, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The product was extremely customizable. Support was responsive and can be used to help utilize best practices in your AV.
What do you dislike about the product?
In 2023, it's difficult to consider a AV product in this day of age as more threats are seen as ransomware attacks, lateral movement, etc. Your traditional AV cannot and will not be able to detect something of this nature. which is why it would be best paired with a possible EDR/MDR solution to provide additional security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides the traditional AV protection, along with firewall protection including external hardware devices.

My experience with Symantec was brief but the solution definitely works.

  • December 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Just like any other endpoint security, Symantec is known for having some of the best safeguards which allow you to protect your most confidential data through secure access, and in turn this keeps the people or employees productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
For Symantec endpoint security, their downside is the local installation of their solution. When Symantec endpoint is installed locally on an ICT environment, it is vulnerable to attacks, and if the answer is brought down, then the whole ICT infrastructure will be in trouble.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Symantec endpoint has developed a solution that allows today's industries to get the best prevention, detection and response with an advanced multi-layered defense for all devices and operating systems.

PC secure against different dangers

  • December 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Generally, this item has functioned admirably, albeit a digit swelled, for the two servers and client machines. Programmed protection without client intercession. This software helps our test clients and designers stay away from any external or internal security worries while simultaneously furnishing quick recuperation with mechanization. It has helped us a ton to acquire clients in the business. We like the arrangement since it is exceptionally natural, cloud-oversaw, and simple to introduce. tThe administration and scientific representation you give us are extremely useful in moderating a danger.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been involved in this item for a long time. Since going to Broadcom, both help and item usefulness have tumbled off radically. Clients appear to be very asset (memory) concentrated and earn a lot of grievances from our client base. A fragile client, in the event of defilement, drives you to reinstall the PC. Moderately new and not incorporated with all designated spot items. Application and URL filtering highlights do not fulfill us that much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Settled: client machines: great antivirus and malware protection. Servers: Good protection for inward and web-confronting (exposed) servers. There's no exhibition support, yet past unwavering quality gave simplicity of psyche to protection. Danger hunting is exceptionally useful because we can imagine where an assault began from and having the option to answer promptly is very helpful. That assists the occurrence reaction with joining.

Best AV for Endpoints

  • October 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this product is that "it releases three updates daily for endpoints to protect them from Zero-day attacks." And endpoint takes an update from Symantec Manager, GUP (Group Update Provider) and LU (Live Update).
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst part of this product is that "sometimes the symlink file mismatch and location of the endpoint show differ on Symantec Manager". And we need to replace this file again. It takes time for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this product when a wannacry ransomware attack happened, and it protected our endpoint from being compromised. We checked NTP logs for all the machines and checked frequently.

Symantec Endpoint Protection needed a backup

  • September 16, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the centralized management feature that allows administrators to perform routines remotely and even schedule tasks that need to run in the endpoints.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been a user of Symantec Endpoint Protection since 2010, and I can say that they have not improved their user interface all these years. The major incident was why I parted ways with SEPM; my network was penetrated by malware that it failed to detect and stop spreading within my network.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Systems Administrator, you need to have centralized control over all your endpoints. SEPM is a whole package. Real-time scan/protection, firewall integration, live updates, advance detection. These are all needed to ensure that the network is protected. It has safeguarded mine for more than ten years.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Suite not what is use to be!

  • April 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Traditionally, this product has worked very well, although a bit bloated, for both servers and client machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have used this product for many years. Since going to Broadcom, both support and product functionality have fallen off drastically. Clients seem to be very resource (memory) intensive and garner a lot of complaints from our user base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved: client machines: good antivirus and malware protection. Servers: Good protection for internal, and internet facing (exposed) servers. There's no performance boost, but past reliability provided ease of mind for protection.
