Simple and reliable protection: antivirus, antimalware and network intrusion protection in one.

  • August 03, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Symantec Endpoint Protection offers simple and reliable protection. It has built in antivirus, antimalware and network intrusion protection in one. It is very easy to deploy even with dozens of workstations, and managing is a breeze as pretty much everything is automated through the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally I had run into issues where specific clients weren't updating. Symantec's tech support was very responsive and connected remotely to help walk me through a critical upgrade process which immediately resolved the issue. Since then, I haven't had any issues at all with Symantec Endpoint Protection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Symantec Endpoint Protection provides us with secure workstations, ensuring that users are protected when browsing the internet, downloading files or receiving email. It also offers network intrusion protection to help with outside attacks on our systems.

Symantec Endpoint Protection is a great option for large and small systems, and is one of the most commonly used by businesses worldwide.

Good enterprise-wide antivirus protection

We used Symantec on all of our computers connected on the network. It keeps tabs on if our users are installing anything illegal or any adware forced installs.

Virus Protection Okay But a Nightmare to Manage

  • February 03, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's adequate to handle virus protection.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product requires too much hands-on administration and user interaction. Far too often we have to manually repair an installation on a machine. The management console is clunky and inefficient.

Preventing PCs and servers from virus infection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look for a less bloated product
