A software to defend against malware attacks.
A software to defend against malware attacks.
Pros
Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a genuine investment. It can be used effectively even on older Windows operating systems. In some forums, it may consume a lot of CPU and RAM resources. If the computer is old, it becomes challenging to operate, especially with applications that also require RAM. However since Symantec Endpoint Protection is lightweight, this issue does not apply. Symantec has done an excellent job with its centralized management portal. Once the interface is understood, it gets better. Policy management could be improved but it covers the essentials. Email notifications are crucial for me and this product handles that well. It does not matter if the function was resolved automatically administrators always receive notifications.
Cons
Tech support can be disappointing at times especially if the issue is not directly related to the agent. Entry related issues can take time to resolve especially since Broadcom took over. The licensing structure and costs are high. The differences between competitors make choosing the product more complicated. Symantec needs to clarify its pricing strategy and the regular updates are not that frequent.

Pros
This software does not bother the end user. It has been installed on my computer for nearly two years, and the only times I noticed it was when it alerted me about potential dangers.
Cons
The interface is a bit confusing and it may take end users a while to figure out what to do.

Symantec Endpoint Protection Review
Symantec Endpoint Protection Review
Pros
Symantec Endpoint Protection is among the most trusted security software globally. It is simple to install and use. Our organization has relied on it for a long time. Our IT team maintains complete control over software installations, and all scheduled scans and updates happen automatically without disturbing users. It prevents threats, unauthorized applications and intrusions ensuring data safety.
Cons
There have been complaints about license management. Plus it offers maximum support on Windows with only a few features on Mac. Remote management needs Internet Explorer which can be slow. It does not do well at detecting phishing sites and its reporting feature is not as strong compared to competitors like Bitdefender GravityZone Elite.

great for confidential/classified communications
Pros
It can encrypt anything across various messaging methods. Once set up, it becomes virtually transparent. It is always a plus when software does not require a struggle to accomplish tasks.
Cons
Setup can sometimes be a bit amusing. Also reactivating expired keys can be tricky. That said I would not trade it for anything.

Pros
In the future everything will likely be stored on some server, often referred to as the cloud. The challenge is how to keep your most sensitive secrets or business assets secure if they cannot be physically kept offline. Our organization experienced a hack about two and a half years ago and since then has implemented significant security measures including this one. Since then, we have had zero security threats. Though I do not know the science behind it, Symantec is a trusted name in this industry. They also provide on premise solutions.
Cons
I really do not have any cons to mention about this service or software. They have supported us from onboarding through daily security issues.

Business level protection from threads with high performance
Pros
Standout features of Symantec Endpoint Encryption include high protection performance against various threats and a simple interface even if it feels a bit outdated. There are two basic scan options, active and full scans. The active scan is quick and offers flexibility. Settings can be customized but may also be restricted by IT admins. Users can view all scan logs for spyware, threats and viruses as well as quarantine records. The main screen displays the status of network and hardware protection which is adequate for end users.
Cons
There are a few issues with Symantec Endpoint Encryption. It does slow down older tech or computers with regular HDDs especially during startup. If you are lucky enough to have an SSD or enough RAM this may not be a problem. The setup time can also be lengthy but it is manageable.
