Considered Both Products	Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Kevin McCusker Global Information Technology Manager Chose Symantec Advanced Threat Protection 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Symantec Advanced Threat Protection The Microsoft product is much better for smaller companies as the setup and maintenance are very much in line with the MS 365 eco-system.

David Crawford IT Consultant Chose Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Cisco FireAMP was a terrible competitor to Symantec.

User Testimonials
	Symantec Advanced Threat Protection
Likelihood to Recommend	Broadcom 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. Incentivized Emma Jones Smith Senior Software Engineering Read full review
Pros	Broadcom 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Broadcom 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. Incentivized AB Andrew Bouwhuis Network System Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Broadcom 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Broadcom There is a small learning curve, but compared to other AV products it is fairly simple and easy to catch onto Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Broadcom Support responds fast for higher priority issues, they have always been good at solving the problems we encounter. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Broadcom No, besides to review documentation prior to beginning. That is what helped lead to a smooth implementation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Broadcom 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. Incentivized Kevin McCusker Global Information Technology Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Broadcom 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. Incentivized David Crawford IT Consultant Read full review
