What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
It is merely carrying out its task in the background by killing the threads covertly. Because human error is conceivable, if users have clicked on a malicious URL or software link, it activates and prevents the threat from happening, giving them confidence. When a threat has already been detected by several security appliances, such as a next-generation firewall, Symantec Endpoint Security safeguards the environment.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Every employee in our organization uses it. Adjustments to all installations are completed within the authority of our IT department. The scanning schedule, updating, fine-tuning, or anything else is taken care of for the employees. All the machines already have it installed, and its purpose is to protect, not to cause trouble. It's amazing. All of the devices in our company are configured with Symantec Endpoint Security under a multi-device plan.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The real AV client is installed separately from the cloud component (according to windows). Before reinstalling the software, you must first use the Symantec removal tool if the installation fails for any reason; otherwise, the AV component will be corrected but the cloud component will still be damaged. This can take a while and calls for several reboots.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Control over each security component at an incredibly fine cleve land is adaptable to a variety of business scenarios. You have incredible control over the security measures put in place for all kinds of computers and various offices inside your company. If you can get it to work. In the modern world, you need extra protection for your computer because you never know which link you'll click or who can break into it and introduce a variety of viruses.

What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
Symantec Endpoint Security Complete provides us with automated intelligence for detecting security breaches across our servers and offering automated resolution response. It has a powerful single and simplified cloud console architecture that has eased governance and strengthened our general endpoint security bearing.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It comes with a centralized cloud console architecture that can be fine tuned according to our preferences. Symantec Endpoint Security is centrally managed offering us (the end users) an amazing experience on our workstations. I just love the overall protection from malicious software and outside connections; it not only provides us with anti malware but also a firewall that operates together with the Mac firewall or the windows.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The web console is a little bit clunky. It is not a hundred percent effectual and at times some malware can go undetected. The support team is always unavailable and should totally check on that.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Symantec Endpoint Security provides standard protection for the company. It is an amazing endpoint security platform. However, their support team are very hard to reach.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Inspires Innovation
