    It is valuable software for when it comes to a large or medium organization, since it helps to protect the endpoints, but as the number of servers increases its value increases. However, it is important to keep in mind that when it comes to low end devices, its protection can affect their performance. This is because it is not a software with a very light agent.

    • The incident management piece is the heart and soul of the product. A single area where all data in relation to network and email protection is available.
    • Works well in conjunction with the standard Symantec Endpoint product.
    • URL Protection is advanced and very helpful
    • Technical support is great and definitely the best I have ever seen for a "anti-virus" type product.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Customer Service: since this is an open-source tool, customer service is not that great. Generally, you get all answers to your problems in online forums, but in case you got stuck, nobody will assist you in a channelised manner. You will have to find the way out on your own, and it may become frustrating at times.
    • More metrics for dashboards shall be added per the application being monitored. Standards metrics will work in most cases but may not in specific applications. Therefore, customised metrics shall be created for some of the industry-standard niche applications.

    • I don't like that I have to maintain the client and keep it up to date. Updating the client is not a very easy process.
    • Deploying the client could be easier. They have a deployment tool, but it doesn't really get to all PCs, which means I still have to manually deploy it.
    • Because the product has so much customization, it can also be very difficult to set up and understand.

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection has done a sufficient job at identifying true positives. However, the UI could be improved and the amount of false positives is a little too frequent for my liking

    Usability
    Open Source
    It is usable and one can learn if few people in the team are already using it. It can be difficult to understand at the beginning because of non intuitive UI and syntax of the rules. So, I've gone for 7 points as there is some room for improvement in user interface and rules syntax.

    Highly customized pricing plans to choose from. Lower pricing for the same features compared to competitors. Easy to reach the support team, which provided detailed documentation and helped set up the Prometheus. Monitoring metrics gets very easy after the integration with Grafana. It also has a sophisticated alert setting mechanism to ensure we don't miss anything critical.

    Frankly, the other products were too expensive to make the change from Symantec so we continued with the tried and true protection. We don't have the funding to move to a more expensive product and the manpower that it would take to implement a new solution.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • We are still working on the ROI
    • The ROI mentioned during the purchase has not been achieved, however this could be due to lack of data from our side. 2 years of implementation is too early to calculate and confirm the ROI.

    • Some digital assets were lost due to failures to detect various threats.
    • We had to use other products in combination in order to trust that all threats were actually detected, taking extra time. We couldn't use just SATP.
    • Ability to quickly manage/deploy via AD made maintenance of the application itself quick and easy.
