    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.

    TrustArc is well suited for a small-to-medium sized digital organization that is concerned about its ability to fulfill data privacy requirements. TrustArc offers an API integration to allow users to handle a larger volume of requests, but I don't have personal experience with this feature. It is a requirement that a cross-functional data privacy team be established in your organization to get the most use out of this product.

    Cons
    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.

    • Two-factor authentication upon login is a desirable feature not implemented

    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

    OneTrust offers a similar product offering to TrustArc. Our organization had a legacy relationship with TrustArc with respect to its online cookie management preference solution. OneTrust product offerings do provide much of the same functionality as TrustArc and is worthy of consideration if you are evaluating vendors in this space.
