What is your favorite aspect of this product?
SEP is extremely straightforward to install, however at constant time the interface is just too sensible to be used by a client and partner. Its blocking new and unknown threats all right and that are usually lost by different endpoint Solutions. Using it widely in our customer base and when a Symantec Partner in our Internal IT to show the employment cases to customers. Glorious Product. Policy management could use some work, but given the class of software system it covers the fundamentals and then some. Email notifications are a requirement on behalf of me and this software does it well.
