The solution offers protection from Network threats and is easy to use.

  • October 15, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The solution is easy to use and has the ability to integrate with the Symantec cloud. It is also easy to deploy and adequate support is available.

The Symantec solution is also able to replace any existing endpoint security solution during the installation process.

Useful product documentation is also available and relatively easy to find.
What do you dislike about the product?
More training material and videos should be made available. Things got a little bit confusing after the Broadcom acquisition. The new website layout can be improved to make it easier to find resources.

Replication with Symantec replication partners at other locations fails sometimes. This appears to have improved greatly with software updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Endpoint security, Device Control, Intrusion Detection, Asset Management, and Network Security.

We now have improved visibility into endpoints on the network and better asset management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I advise that you dedicate adequate time to planning your implementation to ensure the solution is deployed properly in your environment. This will lead to faster value realization from the solution.

What do you like best about the product?
SEP provides real-time protection, the central location helps to easily send updates to client workstations. SEP It is a very user friendly solution. The best part of the product is that it can detect threats quickly with its powerful scanning capabilities and is supported by multiple operating system platforms.

The downside of SEP is that it uses a lot of PC resources. So when SEP scans in the background or does some other action, the PC becomes very slow.

We use SEP to defend against viruses and malware on our company's end user computers. SEP protects against virus attacks, ransomware, malware attacks, and unknown threats.

It provides end-to-end security

  • September 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It provides end-to-end security for different devices and applications including desktop, mobiles, text messaging, servers and Web communications, etc. Works as a good protective wall against spams and protection for Web gateways. Efficient enough to protect against invisible threats (i.e. zero-day threats). Endpoint protection ensures the safety of delicate data and essential information at the messaging gateways with data loss prevention. It provides quick and consistent recovery for data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It uses most of the system resources that affect system speed and efficiency. Some programs might not work properly or stop working. While deep scanning the whole system becomes extremely slow and sluggish. This issue can affect your business work and eat up your time. On the other hand, it is a bit more expensive in comparison with other software with high license fees and high pricing. These problems need to be worked with such great features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can help the computers that are used in business work to process data, retrieve and transmit all types of data in a matter of seconds that will give us relief for data processing without any blockage, and saving more of our priceless time. It is a protector that stops the outside threats as well as insider threats. It possesses a feature known as Insight that protects against anonymous threats that can lift unofficial business information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It possesses a feature known as Insight that protects against anonymous threats that can lift unofficial business information.Highly recommended
