User Support Specialist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data protection at it's best" April 19, 2018 5.0 Pros This is one of the easiest system to implement with just a few click and your are up and running. The instruction manual is easy to follow and it as all the instructing required to successfully install the server and client software. The client side installation is even simpler because the installer has all the configuration from the server in it. Speaking from an administrator point of view this system requires little management once deployed. The management interface is neat and intuitive. Cons The creation of the recovery dvd is a bit involved because you have to use Microsoft Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit.

Pros so easy to encrypt and decrypt emails with only one click also the ability to detect a pattern and encrypt it automatically. Cons when sending emails to external emails they can't reply on the email thread. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mid-Market Account Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to setup and use" April 19, 2019 5.0 Excellent product, and the name says it all. Pros The product was extremely simple, and didn't take very long to setup. You tell it what parts of your hard-drive that you want it to secure/encrypt. It would take awhile to encrypt all of your files and data, but that's to be expected. There really isn't a lot required from the user. It just works. Cons Occasionally I would fail to recall my master password in order to decrypt files when I was logging in or booting my machine. That's more of a user error though. Review Source Paraskevas G.

The symantec service includes another level of security, making access to encrypted data very difficult. Pros It is a very intuitive system, the entire process is performed from within the console, where it is possible to manage which files will be encrypted, being able to select specific folders or clients. Cons Generally problems occur due to misinformation with the client, some files are accessed by more than one user, who does not know the data is encrypted and needs to present for management or similar situation.

Good recovery options and password backups Cons Can take some time to fully encrypt an existing drive, but that is expected.

With the encryption my drive was protected. Pros I liked that it actually worked and my drive was encrypted. The security that comes with an encryped drive is required in my field and this product did encrypt Cons The support is terrible. they are patronizing, condescending, and will not support you unless you purchase it. We did not know if it was compatible so they made up buy the software only to find out that it did not work on two out of our three systems. They refused to refund us because they could not find the charge and we needed an IT person to fix the problems it caused Review Source nK nick K.

We have tried other products to replace Symantec, but all of them have come up short in one way or another. Pros Ease of use. The online console has a lot of features and capabilities. It allows us to shut off peripherals and auto scanning. Cons Some of the features do not work correctly, like uninstalling from the console. Sometimes you have to use 3+ tools to properly uninstall the product on end machines. Review Source Drew S. Help Desk Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not super necessary " August 29, 2018 4.0 Overall it provided great piece of mind and information reports about the endpoints. The encryption can also be achieved by using bitlocker but it not as intuitive to manage. Pros Provided detailed reports and a nice GUI to give you piece of mind. Cons Many annoying popups and very expensive. With windows 10 this product becomes a redundancy. Really only need this if you have issues with bitlocker.
