Read full review Symantec Endpoint Security is a well-rounded product that provides a significant amount of functionality and covers many of our endpoint needs without needing to resort to multiple vendors that might clash in unpredictable ways when ultimately deployed to the endpoints in our estate. The default policies are adequate and tuning these requires some time as with all similar EDR products but the product is flexible enough to allow very granular whitelisting/blacklisting which is great. Low resource requirements are also fantastic and we've not had many complaints from developers who were getting slowed down when compiling complex code with other previous solutions.

Read full review The virus and spyware protection has worked well for us, catching several things and quarantining the items or cleaning them. The virus definitions very rarely fail to update for the users, so I feel confident that my client machines are kept up to date. I like the report I get daily telling me about threats found and action taken without having to login to the console to look it up myself. Read full review Cons Broadcom CloudSOC CASB also needs to more focus on data classification, Classification will help to control the false positive & fast negative. Broadcom has more focus on SMB business As SMB & Mid Enterprise is going to be more aware of cyber security especially start-ups. Read full review The system should have a better ability to auto repair, if an item is malfunctioning it should auto reinstall. The cloud platform and the server do not talk well to each other and it would be great to get the same data on both platforms, this may be due to version though. It seems the whitelisting on the cloud platform could use some work. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Best of Breed.

Read full review Support Rating Support is completely awful! You can never get anyone to help if you can even find a number to call. The support web portal is a joke and their response time if you're even able to submit a ticket is ridiculously slow.
Read full review Implementation Rating Use a third party deployment tool and not the deployment option within the SEP Manager itself.

Overall they have offered us the best commercial in comparison with competitors.
Read full review Symantec Endpoint Security offers very similar features to the above products, they all do the same thing in terms of protecting your endpoints against cybersecurity threats. Installation wise the products all install from a central management system and report back to this for central reporting. Ultimately we choose Symantec as the reseller was able to offer additional incentives which made their pricing very competitive.
