Any business with the need to educate their employees on Cyber Security. In today's environment all businesses are susceptible to a Cyber Attack and Breach. Any business with customer data.
It was a great time dealing with the application and the benefits of the antivirus application are much greater than the work involved in maintenance and updates on a regular basis.
Sometimes it will not remember the device and it will ask to authenticate again so Its loose tracking of machine name.
I like that this cloud managed solution works flawlessly. It has good reports and dashboards.
I dislike how expensive it is. I also dislike how many system resources it uses to run.
This software does make me feel better about having my computer seem secure and free of viruses so I do enjoy that.
It had the worst update "additional" app which worked for about 20% of time. It is heavy on resources.
Symantec performs well enough to qualify it as excellent software, so I'm happy to report that it's great for everyday use and facilitates fast performance and deployment.
We have tested this product and it failed our testing.
I love the interface for the software and how easy the interface is to navigate. I also love the Daily and Weekly Trivia.
If I am being fooled by Phishing attacks with my personal technical experience, I can only imagine how ineffective the training has been for others who have used it.
With the Treat Advice Educate the experience has been a blessing because we also have Audit Bridge to help manage the Audit exceptions.
One negative issue with the software is around the vulnerability assessments.
The fact that the solution is backed by world class professionals that are very responsive to the needs of customers and providing updates and information in a timely manner.
More people are checking where an email is from and have learned to be hesitant to click on something that seems a little off.
It was VERY easy to use and understand from both the consumer and admin side. The navigation was clear and out of a firm of 70, no one had to ask me for help with how to use it.
I would like to be able to customize our policy section a little bit more. I am also a little confused about whether the simulated email went out to catch our users in click&bait scams.
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.
