    IBM Security QRadaar EDR provides all the security features at one place with a reasonable price. Though for smaller organizations, the price may be quite high. Plus since it can detect threats and malwares in real time, every business should try them out.

    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.

    • 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.

    Cons
    IBM
    • use AI to review previous false negatives that contributed wrongly in the AI suggestion on the follow alerts
    • easily run a script based on values from an hash, ips, path inside the boxes on the behavioral tree
    • apply the remediation to a range of endpoint instead to only the endpoint of the current alert
    • use ajax for example to update the alert page automatically while actions are happening
    • for api have profiles that allow only get actions, or just post on some actions
    • create users in bulk

    • 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.

    The rating reflects Symantec Endpoint Security's ability to balance enterprise grade security with user-friendly workflows or advanced configurations require extra effort. For most organizations, the streamlined management and robust automation justify the high score. Management GUI is old fashined and need to be improve. Older devices may experience slowdowns during full scans without careful configuration.

    We've used it for years and the software is easy to use. The dashboard is easy to read, and you can easily figure out where to go to troubleshoot or deploy software. Symantec is there for emergencies like backup restoration or file retrieval. It's pretty low maintenance. Symantec is there when your IT infrastructure needs it

    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.

    Bitdefender GravityZone combines multiple security services into a single platform to reduce the cost of building a trusted environment for endpoints. bit the IBM provides a vast support and always there to guide when in need With the majority of our users working in hybrid mode we needed a strong security control that could provide top-class protection with the minimum amount of False Positives (and, of course, of True Positives).

    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.
