"It is a stable product."
"It's a robust product."
"The most valuable feature for our organization is the antivirus, as our staff is the target of zero-day malware and viruses."
"Symantec have everything – documentation, videos, data sheets."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"The tool has predefined rules, like which actions to block or allow. This makes it easy because I don't have to figure out what policies to deploy."
"I like the additional features that come with it. The firewall feature and the encryption feature that they throw in are good as well. Another thing that I like about Symantec is that it runs on different platforms, not just on Windows."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Authentication is not a default in Kibana. We need to have another tool to have authentication and authorization. These two should be part of Kibana."
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
"It's not cheap."
"There are limitations because everyone these days has hybrid working; however, the endpoint does not work for us unless we are connected to a VPN, which is a major limitation."
"The solution already has support for Windows, Mac, and Linux but it could improve by having better support for Linux. We have run into some problems when there are upgrades. If they can improve this point, Symantec would be good for endpoint protection as well as for a critical server."
"It should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"We were having a problem in Version 14, where the client machines used to go into the health state and once it restarted, and never came back again."
"The overall quality of the product needs to be improved because with the last session we had several issues with new versions. Also, the solution needs better protections."
