### "Never failed or had issues over several years"

September 7, 2018

5.0

Nothing but good times.

Pros

Easy to deploy to multiple devices from single console. Policies and upgrades can all be configured and deployed from a single console. I have been using Symantec EndPoint for several years on hundreds of sites and no outbreaks or issues. It was that good I started to think what isn't it finding so scanned with other AV products and my systems were clean.

Cons

Support can be difficult at times. The firewall policy can be a little over whelming to non experienced users, but you could chose not to deploy that part.

### "This is great for a large office with a wide range of users."

April 19, 2018

5.0

In a crazy world it helps keep us safe.

Pros

This is a great product for our office because we have a wide range of users from those who feel very comfortable using a computer and those that honestly have no business on a computer.

Cons

For those in the office who either don't care or don't notice, the notification for an issue can be very subtle.

### "I have never felt safer with sensitive information!"

December 6, 2019

5.0

I think Symantec Endpoint protection, should be on every device in a shared network! This is a great way to keep sensitive information secure and private. I would recommend this program to anyone!

Pros

This program is a great for protecting our network. It makes me more comfortable handling sensitive information for our guests.

Cons

There really isn't anything I can complain about this program. It works great, and has never let us down. I think everyone who works on a network should install this software, for safe and secure work.

### "Symantec Endpoint Protection Review"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Our organization has used Symantec in the past for network protection. In my experience it has worked well and only once has the application missed malware.

Pros

I like the feature that scans emails and files and protects them from alteration. Updates are constantly pushed to client machines to keep them secure.

Cons

Some updates require the computer to be restarted.

### "Neutral perspective on Endpoint Protection"

December 28, 2020

4.0

Neutral. I was never in situations which made me think this is important software. Ok in todays world you need to have some kind of Endpoint Protection, but i can't say i would ever choose Symantec over maybe Kaspersky or McAffee

Pros

Well it works. I habe been using it for ages on my old business PC ( Windows 7) for 5-6 years. Also on some virtual machines. It is non intrusive Endpoint protection software with not too much options

Cons

It had the worst update "additional" app which worked for about 20% of time. It is heavy on resources. Also i had some files i knew that had potential keyloger and virus infections, and this product did not detect them.

### "Downhill since before the Broadcom acquisition"

January 26, 2021

1.0

Pros

Pricing for 200+ computers is very low, when you can get the renewal to go through.

Cons

The software has multiple bugs that have developed in the past year. Since the acquisition by Broadcom, support has become inaccessible. Renewals are difficult and the website transition makes is hard to find any information or files.

### "Subpar protection at the cost of extensive battery life."

August 13, 2019

3.0

Pros

It is completely out of your way once it is installed on your machine. Once on, you are given few, if at all, notifications outside of a little icon on your machine's toolbar if using a mac, or on the application icon on windows. Running a system check can be done with the click of a button.

Cons

The software itself is very clunky. There is no protection "in the moment" (ie, no way to scan a file before downloading it). System checks are also painfully slow, despite being easy to initiate. Once completed, the analytics given are very vague, giving you guesswork if anything on your machine is compromised. Lastly, there is a very noticeable drop in battery life once the software is installed.

### "Symantec Endpoint is a good solution for end-users"

December 31, 2019

4.0

Symantec Endpoint was a definite upgrade from McAfee and AVG, both of which did not provide adequate protection for our computers and mobile devices.

Pros

Symantec is a good overall program and provides adequate protection. The web browser plug-ins prevent pop-ups, providing an additional layer of protection that most programs don't.

Cons

The program did slow down the performance of several of our computers when performing a definition update, a quick system scan or a full system scan.

5.0

We have used Symantec Endpoint at our office for many years. I feel secure with it on all of our machines.

Pros

Symantec seems to work for our small business endpoint security needs and is fairly easy to implement.

Cons

We went to a cloud based solution for our updates and from time to time the updates do not run properly.

### "My Review of Symantec Endpoint Protection"

July 15, 2020

5.0

As I said before, my experience with this product is just from the perspective of the user – and it’s very good.

Pros

We use this software at the company where I work and I don't deal directly with it but I get notifications and I always have my computer clean and super safe. I feel completely protected.

Cons

To be honest, from my point of view – the view of the user – I got absolutely nothing to pint out. Very very good product – with frequent analysis to the machine.

### "Solid cloud AV"

September 5, 2019

This product has served us for years as our standard AV solution.

Pros

we use this on ALL of our managed PCs. It's easy to use and even easier to install in bulk with the site package set up.

Cons

nothing really to note. Occasionally we see some false positives but that's not really a con at all.
