User Testimonials
	east-tec SafeBit	Symantec Encryption
Likelihood to Recommend	East-Tec No answers on this topic	Broadcom I think Symantec Endpoint Protection provides very good protection from all kind of threats. Due to the lean interface, it is sure easy to use. However, set up and start up is time-consuming. It can cause old computers to slow down during start up. Overall, it does perform at the top level as a business-level endpoint protection solution. I feel very safe while working at the office as I've never encountered any issues with this software before. Any kind of spyware or malware is defeated instantly by the help of this up-to-date database. Verified User Read full review
Pros	East-Tec No answers on this topic	Broadcom Ease of use for end users. The outlook add in helps with encryption. The auto encrypt rules are very intuitive and work every time. Encryption strength. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	East-Tec No answers on this topic	Broadcom The process to set up a user account is a real pain. Symantec requires the user answer a bunch of security questions if they need to reset their password, but no one ever remembers the answers to the questions that they selected. Since we use this for remote users who don't always connect to our VPN, when they change their network password it isn't always reflected in Windows and the Symantec Endpoint Encryption (SEE) passwords frequently get out of sync. When the user eventually does connect to the VPN, they do sync and really throw the user for a loop in which passwords to use. We found a huge problem with SSDs where an encrypted drive operated twice as slow as a mechanical drive. I believe this was addressed in a later release.

Alternatives Considered	East-Tec No answers on this topic	Broadcom We needed a tool to manage BitLocker and FileVault and this product does both. Also, we needed a product to manage our self-encrypting drives (OPAL drives) and things work great Incentivized Verified User Read full review
