Lot less intrusive than other products and doesn't have as much as negative performance impact on the endpoints. Very easy to manage centrally and it simply does it jobs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The possibility for building distributed infrastructure makes it easy to secure clients in a globally dispersed environment. The scanning on the clients is well optimized and it is hardly noticeable from performance aspect. Fast response to 0-day attacks by Symantec. The ability to configure application execution prevention that can ban installers from starting if they are not in a default container. There is minimum detection of false positives.

The size of the updates can be a bit of a downside. This goes especially when new clients are introduced in an environment with slower bandwidth. The configuration interface can use an interface update.

If you have a big organizations with thousands of endpoints that need to be centrally managed then you should definitely give SEP a go. They have been very reliable with their product and support for as many years as I'm in the industry.
