Endpoint Protection scans computers for security threats. It is used to disable unauthorized programs, as well as to implement security policies that limit or allow network traffic. Attempts to identify and block malicious traffic on corporate networks or web browsers. Uses integrated information from users to identify malicious software.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The Symantec platform is a proxy platform that protects all traditional and mobile storage terminals, provides device, application, and network-level protection, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to prepare security decisions. Available on all major platforms, Microsoft, Linux / Unix, and Mac. And it works with everything. Best of all is that it can block USB devices automatically.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Management UI is outdated and Complexity. Deleting Finishing Points Completely is time consuming and difficult. The system should have better auto-correction capabilities, and if something goes wrong it should be restarted automatically. Firewall features can do just that and I've found it easier to disable and use Windows firewall instead. 

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You can set a few different policies to suit your needs across the network. You can send remote scans to devices from the Internet without being on the device. Many angles are protected, from av to firewall, to IPS.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Effective Service
  • Respectful
  • Client Friendly Policies
