What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
This program's simplicity in Indian notation is a distinguishing feature. Regardless of whether the indicator conceals it, the yellow shield sign makes it obvious, and after running the software, the rapid scan and complete scan are easy to understand, and it was quite simple to help those who were inexperienced with PC operation. The result is that even though Windows 7 didn't include Defender by default, we nevertheless support older operating systems when doing so offers us peace of mind.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The objective is that it can protect your PC's security without your knowledge. In addition, being a long-established company, it has a sense of security and is very simple to use because it supports not just older Windows versions but also Linux distributions. For USB terminals, it is also quite effective and it is beneficial since it stops clients from easily entering and exiting data easily. When asked about their printouts, they said that the operation is easy to understand and that the required operation steps are minimal, suggesting that it is a straightforward application for end-users.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Despite the fact that it is unavoidable, installing and configuring SEP on Linux is a time-consuming operation. Finally, when the number of companies and local governments that adopt Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux distributions, expands, I want to be there to support them.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is entirely safe to update virus patterns because of the store's long history and sense of security. This makes me pleased since it means I don't have to worry about the PC's security. A capability for automatic resolution may be necessary, however, given the enormous amount of mail coming from English-speaking nations and the fact that help is diminishing. An end-user reported that the software made it very simple to delete the company's PC tax confirmation after doing a single complete check of all apps.
