the only effective protection I trust for my computer's security

  • September 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The security infrastructure of the application works exactly as I want it. It blocks all malware. The risk factor is minimized. It monitors the system very well and provides full protection.
What do you dislike about the product?
I see that the application is using a lot of System resources. usually uses 50% performance of the processor. This situation affects me very much. Symantec application causes some of my applications to open too late. As an example, I can say Anydesk remote desktop application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In addition to actively providing protection, it is very convenient to have a programming scan structure. It makes my job very easy to immediately terminate the detected malicious processes.

I've never encountered any problems or received any false alerts about threats, which is a good thing.

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

  • September 14, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
This is a very secure solution. After installation you won't notice it's running. Upgrading the clients from the server is easy. In particular it sends packages to all clients very quickly to make sure they have the new update. It is crystal clear and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is certainly space for improvement to the reporting feature. In general the reporting feature must be less complicated to use.

I don't have anything to complain about.

  • September 09, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I used different kinds of anti-virus solutions but I prefer Symantec Endpoint Protection as it solved all the problems I used to have.

Recommended for any Windows based user workstation.

  • September 07, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Symantec has done a great job with their centralized management portal. The agent/client itself is easy to deploy once you understand Symantec's interface. Policy management could use some work, but given the class of software it covers the basics and then some. Email notifications are a must for me and this software does it well. It doesn't matter if the event was resolved automatically or not, admins always get notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technical support can be a little frustrating at times especially if the problem at hand is not directly related to the agent. Portal related issues can take a little time to solve and more so since Broadcom took them over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software does add a layer of protection that is otherwise missing from native Windows. One of the best things about it is that end-users get a pop up for events and administrators are also notified via email, providing notifications are properly configured.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Like anything else, test drive everything including the management interface, reporting and alerting features.
