Anshuman B
Security Engineer
3.0

Anshuman: Hi, my name is Anshuman, and I'm a security engineer. I would like to give Symantec Endpoint Protection three stars. For more details, click below. Why it's using Symantec Endpoint Protection? We considered McAfee antivirus as well. But the wide range of Semantic Suite of applications which spread across the Endpoint Protection Software, the Data Leakage Prevention Software, the Cloud Access Security Broker, and whatnot. The entire suite made us choose Symantec Endpoint Protection over McAfee. In addition, the overall protection plan offered by Symantec works much into our budget in comparison with that at McAfee. The biggest reason of choosing Symantec Endpoint Protection was its wide range of applications across the Symantec Suite. And it's very well-integrated environment. All the applications are very well connected to each other. At the same time, they are very well integrated into Splunk, which is our SIM. So overall, the ability of the applications to get us the needed information as a Security Engineer was amazing. It was pretty much easy to implement Symantec Endpoint Protection. All it needed was a server and the endpoint agents, which could be very easily deployed across the entire environment using the SCCM server. The endpoint agents communicated pretty well with the Symantec server and the server had capabilities for the administrators to go ahead and look at the different logs. Additionally, it was from the endpoint users perspective. It was not at all problematic because it never messed up with our work and it never made any performance issues on our machines. So Symantec Endpoint Protection has been a great tool for the environment that I have worked in. However, with time there have been some products like [CalCheck 00:01:55] that have come in and have become a market leader. I would personally recommend you to consider all these products before you go ahead and just purchase Semantic. And a lot depends on what your organization is looking for and what overall security posture of your organization looks like.
