Decent Product Heading in the Right Direction

  • May 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Centrally managed from a server, using Agent based deployment. Central console can be used to manage all aspects of your protection setup. Integrates well with the rest of Symantec's security platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Symantec's licensing can be a minefield, though that isn't an issue with the product itself. Can be a little resource heavy, will run fine if adequately resourced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Endpoint protection that needs little client-side management. While everything works well and it's a strong product, we chose to go with a competitor for our Endpoint Protection. This was mostly a case of preference and choosing to stay with our current vendor. If there had been no existing relationship, the choice may have been different.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth looking at, particularly with the recent merger with Bluecoat.

Symantec Endpoint Protection 14, take another look!

  • May 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that Symantec (with new partner, BlueCoat) has listened to the masses and brought forth a solid platform that we can rely on.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is an evolving platform, getting better with each release!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As one of the first to admit that traditional AV wasn't enough to combat the advanced threats that we fight in this age, Symantec went back to the drawing board and brought the best of the old and of the new.

SEP - Our Trusted Endpoint Protection

  • March 16, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SEP is very simple to install, but at the same time the User Interface is too good to be used by a customer and partner. Its blocking new and unknown threats very well and which are usually missed by other Endpoint Solutions. Using it widely in our customer base and even as a Symantec Partner in our Internal IT to show the use cases to customers. Excellent Product.!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
I could not find much issues or something that i can write to dislike about this product. The offline updates of the SEP can be made more simpler. I found that little troublesome by downloading and placing in folder and it takes so much time to update in the SEP window.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End Point Security in General.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great Endpoint Solution and very flexible, stable and trusted one.

Quality Enterprise Protection

  • March 04, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that you can manage 100's of end points globally, from the Single Console.

The single console is very useful to manage their risks, forcefully enable scans to remediate any infections. Installs and scans run silently in the background for minimal user disruption.

Server interface is very straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the GUI interface can be a bit slow at times and reports can take time to generate, especially when dealing with lots of end points.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The university that I work at has staff traveling around multiple locations at times, covering many different time zones. We have a dedicated IT team who supports these staff 24/7, this enables us to schedule scans and deal with infections whenevers convenient.

We have multiple categories of policies and package installations required for each time zone. These are easily managed using separate sub-folders and groups. It generlly works really well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth trying out and compare to other solutions.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The installer is quick and painless to run, and using the console to manage workstations is super simple. The software does a very good job of running in the background and not using a ton of system resources. We haven't had any problems with it running in a ~50 workstation environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there's really anything that I have found to dislike about the product. it does its job pretty well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping the workstations infection free and running well.
