Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response Reviews

I use the solution to detect threats.

The security is good.

Symantec is a dead product. The product does not have any add-on features. The interface has many issues. There is no proper KB article to fix the error.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is easy to install.

The product is cheap.

We have trial licenses for Trend Micro, Sophos, and Kaspersky.

People can use the tool. There are not many options, though. We are unable to log in or work in the trial version. We are unable to learn the features. Overall, I rate the solution a one out of ten.

We use Symantec EDR to protect users and endpoints. 

I like Symantec EDR's device control and USB security features. 

It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users. 

I have used Symantec EDR for more than 10 years. 

It isn't difficult to install Symantec EDR. We use the on-prem and the cloud versions. 

I rate Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response eight out of 10. 

The solution is easy to deploy on both on-cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

The solution's price could be better. Presently, it is expensive for basic functionality. Also, they should make its UI more user-friendly. It takes time to find the policies and analyze their effects. They should add a customization option for policies. In addition, they should add more scanning features to it.

We have been using the solution for a year.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as an eight.

We have around 150 solution users of the solution in our organization. It is scalable, and I rate its scalability as an eight.

The solution's customer service could be better.

Neutral

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. It takes a day to complete the process.

Our team of three executives deploys and maintains the solution.

The solution is expensive. I rate it as a five for pricing.

I rate the solution as an eight.

We primarily use the solution for its powerful detection capabilities. 

It is very good at detection. The advanced threat protection is great.

The EDR and the events it is able to collect are quite helpful aspects a=of the solution. 

Its initial setup is fairly straightforward. 

The product is stable. 

The pricing is pretty reasonable. 

We are in Iran, so for some Symantec services, we face sanctions. 

The interface is very complicated. It needs to be simplified in future releases. 

It needs to offer better documentation around configurations during setup.

Scalability is limited. It needs more expansion capabilities and should offer more efficiency. 

I've used the solution for about three years. 

It's a stable solution. It's reliable and free of bugs and glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

I'd rate the stability seven out of ten. 

We have about 5,000 clients using the solution right now. It is something that is used on a daily basis. 

I'd rate the ability to scale five out of ten.

My understanding is the solution is not so scalable. I've never tried to scale it, however. That may be why XDR was suggested as an alternative.

Due to our location, there isn't official technical support available. We have some small businesses that can assist if necessary. 

We also work with Kaspersky.

We likely will switch from Symantec EDR to XTR.

The initial setup is not overly difficult.  However, the documentation sometimes does not make it clear about configurations. 

I'd rate the initial setup six out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. 

We have no official Symantec branch here, and so I did try to implement it myself. However, I did have assistance from a third party.

My understanding is the solution is cheaper than other options. I can't say what the exact price is for my company, however. 

I'd rate the affordability of the product at a six or seven out of ten. 

While I have no experience with the cloud and work mainly with on-premises deployments, I have heard the cloud is very good. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

It's part of the endpoint and is an EDR product. There are many use cases we're looking at, including power share and general detection.

The initial setup is quick and easy.

We found the product to be scalable.

The stability is good. It's reliable. 

The pricing is good.

Technical support is okay.

It's easy to add hash files. 

I have not picked up anything that is lacking in terms of features while using this tool. 

They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server.

The response time for technical support takes too long. 

I've been using the solution for two and four months years now. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. it's reliable. 

The solution is scalable. That's not a problem. 

We have about 2,500 endpoints. It's actually even more than that as it is deployed on the server as well. 

While technical support is great, it does take up to two days before I get a response. They are a bit slow.

The implementation process was quick and easy, and we didn't need a DBU, a database administrator.

Two people handled the initial setup it was done over one day.

Our team handled the deployment in-house. We didn't need any outside assistance. 

The cost of the solution is affordable and manageable. 

We are a customer and an end-user.

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is mainly used for endpoint protection against malware and other threats.

The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is its ability to conduct large scans on the endpoints without affecting the network.

In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial.

I have been using Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response for approximately three years.

The stability of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response is good.

Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response scalability depends on the agents. You have to discover the devices. It's scalable, but it's not as flexible as one would like.

We have approximately 10,000 endpoints using this solution. We use the solution every day.

I rate the support from Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response a four out of five.

They have given quick resolutions to our questions.

I have not used other solutions. However, if you compare what Microsoft may provide to Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response, the integration with other systems, such as AD, Microsoft EDR solution treats it much better than Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response.

Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response advantages are the ease of use, quick introduction of new technicians, and it's much faster. It doesn't require a lot of training. In terms of usability, it's something that you can deploy and run quickly.

The more devices we have the more expensive it becomes, which is where the challenge is.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response a seven out of ten.

The solution is mainly used for antivirus. When clients don't want a heavy agent on their system, they like to use a solution like this. This isn't a signature-based approach which isn't very effective.

Symantec has been a leader in the space. The threat intel they gather is very good. 

They have a wide presence across the globe. They often are the first to pick up on threats and malware. 

They have the capability to address zero-day vulnerabilities. 

They do have managed service offerings.

It is easy to set up.

The solution can scale well.

I've been using the solution for two years now. 

The stability and performance are great. It is very stable. I'd rate it nine out of ten in terms of reliability. 

The solution is very scalable. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It extends easily.

They are leaders in this entire segment, and they have a good understanding of malware and antiviruses is very strong and their presence across the globe is very robust.

We tend to work with medium-sized organizations.

I've used CrowdStrike and they have done a good job in terms of using AI and ML behavior-based analysis. No signature is required on endpoint devices. When you scan devices, it does not decrease user performance. 

The initial setup is very easy to set up. I'd rate the initial setup eight out of ten in terms of ease of the process. 

Most customers are on-premises, although they do now have a cloud option.

The deployment generally takes a few days. 

The pricing is pretty reasonable. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

The technical support from Broadcom has given us some challenges. Previously, they had experienced people who handle the end user's query and escalate the problems within a good timeframe. Since Broadcom took over, we have not been satisfied by the way they are handling the end user's query or end-user support.

Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response

We have a partner that has helped us with the implementation, configuration, and policies.

Determining if this is the right solution for someone depends on the region or what type of partner they have. Broadcom user support might be different in your region but we are in the Asia Pacific region is not good. I don't know who is providing the proper support.

I rate Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response a seven out of ten.
