It would profit from accumulating additional OS logs in a way akin to Simson. The Graphical User Interface has to be simplified and made to look more appealing. The deployment and installation process went well and quickly. A significant amount of time is saved by the server-side program's simple deployment and updates to all the workstations.
  • When it comes to high-performance, lightweight single clients.
  • A single administration interface for both the physical and virtual protection, and scaled orchestrated response delivery, Symantec Endpoint Protection is the best option.
  • I enjoy the distant routine execution and even task scheduling capabilities of the centralized management system for admins.
  • It gives us a single, streamlined cloud console architecture that makes governance easy and supports our overall position on security terminals.
  • The Symantec software uses very little of the PC's resources, doesn't appear to slow down the system, and just works.
  • Our APM's defense and management have tremendously benefited from automated intelligence.
Although it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because of the rising volume of traffic on our system. The constant version updates annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a larger number of clients.

  • Symantec had previously announced that it would no longer provide assistance for any corporate customers, but they now appear to have changed their minds and are now providing renewals for current customers.
  • Symantec Endpoint Security is a well-rounded product that offers a lot of flexibility.
  • Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed or removed so that devices are always being watched.

Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed or removed so that devices are always being watched. Additionally, it offers deception technologies that other suppliers frequently do not in comparable solutions. It has the capacity to proactively quarantine potentially infected devices.

We use this product to protect our employee's mobile devices from modern mobile threats. With this tool, I can identify which user's mobile device is at risk and mitigate it for him and the entire organization. I can decide what risk level will block the user's access to company data and resources.

Suited for large-scale organizations, where most users are accessing organization data and resources from their mobile devices.if a Malicious app is detected in Google Play, Symantec will provide protection by alerting the SOC team and allowing the removal of this app to the entire environment. The fact that it sometimes detects genuine apps and programs as a threat and tries to deal with them
  • Malware detection
  • Root/Jailbreak detection
  • positive: all companies mobile device are secured and no need to reset device frequently
  • positive: connect to a SIEM for suspicious events correlation

Most of them are doing pretty much the same. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile has an intuitive dashboard and policy configuration use.
the app itself has low-Performance effects and does not use a lot of battery.
