Symantec Advanced Threat Protection vs. Vulse

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 platform is great for any team looking to improve employee advocacy internally, whether a small team or an enterprise business. If you're running a specific campaign and want your team to share relevant content, it can help you plan and share it with everyone. The Tone Match feature saves a lot of time, rather than having to create unique posts for everyone. It's also useful to have a live leaderboard of performance and to be able to create custom reports to prove the ROI of advocacy to senior leaders.

• 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.

• 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

There is a small learning curve, but compared to other AV products it is fairly simple and easy to catch onto

It's an incredibly simple platform to use, and it has just the right amount of features needed, whereas other platforms overcomplicate things. It's quick to use, has a low learning curve, and ultimately allows us to get team content out faster, which has had a positive impact. Most importantly, the team has found it useful and enjoys using the product to share their posts.

Support responds fast for higher priority issues, they have always been good at solving the problems we encounter.

No, besides to review documentation prior to beginning. That is what helped lead to a smooth implementation

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.

We looked at a number of employee advocacy platforms before deciding to go with Vulse. The first thing that stood out was the total cost, which was much lower than others and matched our budget. They don't charge for admin seats, onboarding, or training, which other vendors do. The simplicity of the platform helped us make this decision too; it offered everything we needed and looked easy to use.

• 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.
