Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Symantec ATP as our one stop shop when it comes to proactive monitoring of our network, email, and internet traffic. The whole organization uses it even if they are remote (for work/VPN related traffic). It allows us the peace of mind to know we have an enterprise and industry standard incident management tool to use both proactively and in the case of an incident.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Symantec ATP is more of a medium or large-scale product where a company has a lot of endpoints. It is burdensome for smaller companies with limited IT support to try and get the product up and running. In addition I feel the new own, Broadcomm, is also trying to angle their product more to the large customer base. A medium or large scale customer in the need of end-to-end protection for their network really cannot go wrong with the product once configured correctly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using Symantec Advanced Threat Protection in our corporate headquarters for both our test and production environments for both servers and client workstations as well as some of our other locations throughout the globe. This product gives us endpoint protection for all of your devices.

Likelihood to Recommend

Symantec has been the product from which others try to emulate for years. The ease of use and reliability is second to none but I am still worried about the Zero Day attacks that the new EDR cloud solutions tout is a better feature. We have a great deal of issues with keeping the clients up to date, especially since COVID-19 kick in our remote work policy. This made management of our endpoint devices rather difficult to keep up with.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is currently used at the level of various departments of the organization. It is an easy software to use and implement and has a fairly simple maintenance; that is why we use it to keep our network protected against the presence of advanced attacks. One of its most relevant and helpful characteristics for us is that it allows us to easily manage incidents in the internal network. This is thanks to the fact that it provides us with information about them in great detail. It is also key in the protection of our end points.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is easy to use and implement, even in a moderately size digital environment such as in our company. We use it throughout our internal network to secure our network and ensure compliance with various security standards. It gives us a great overview of the total network infrastructure of our company and the associated threats/issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is especially well suited for very large network infrastructures, especially in critical sectors where downtime/vulnerabilities much be avoided at all costs. It is mostly suited for Windows devices, but other OS'es are supported to a certain degree. For smaller scale operations, the initial costs and the advanced nature of the application makes it too big to use.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is currently being used in various organizations and departments. In most cases, it is being used as an endpoint threat detection and protection tool to prevent unwanted and unauthorized access from external networks into the network and onto end points such as personal devices.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It;s being used by one country division. Day to day connectivity and devices that we connect to our windows machine.

Also filters spam/phishing mails which could have broader impact. It's in "always on" mode and very rarely it needs manual intervention.

Till now with my personal experience I have seen 10+ occurrences where Symantec has proven worth.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's covering most of the security threats for day to day office work. Can trust and use doubtful devices on office laptops as it's not allowing any permission without scan. Although it's less interactive, it could improve on that and maybe providing security tips during boot up or when connecting any device to laptop.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is used as our anti-virus program. It is on machines across the organization, but mostly utilized by the information security and systems teams at our company. It helps us keep our systems and computers safe and the maintenance in Symantec has been fairly simple. It addresses the issue of having potential threats on the network going unseen.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited in most corporate environments that want an easy to maintain anti-virus program. The only major drawback we experienced was not having the ability to easily interact with the UI. Some other AV programs have more straightforward graphics and management panels. However, overall it did a great job at protecting the company.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have managed to address issues such as having a constant security in my computer and system during its time of use and I can also differentiate and eliminate threats as it has done in my system since its installation. My organizer is faster since Symantec cleans and keeps my system one hundred percent protected, detects any threats and automatically discards them without any problem. I can be calmer because I have the effectiveness of its protection, my software is always clean and without any risk of being damaged. The greatest benefit obtained has been the maximum protection of all our equipment from hackers or viruses.

Likelihood to Recommend

Its protection of our equipment is effective and it can be executed without any problems for the users of my company. It can be used by anyone who wants to obtain it, excellent security software. I recommend it 100%, it's very reliable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have implemented Symantec's AV as a means to protect against virus and malware security issues. It's deployed at a number of our customer sites and, for the price, really has a great history of doing a good job.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it would be best suited for an enterprise level environment where you have dedicated onsite IT staff able to check it, manage it, and update it daily.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Advanced Protection Threat Protection is a program used across the whole Alcoa Company for all departments and areas, including HR and the Finance department. With this program, it is possible to solve most problems like malware and virus. The software can protect and control the machines from all employees.

Likelihood to Recommend

With Symantec Advanced Threat Protection you can protect machines, the system in the cloud, communications, videos, and important information (secret information) from people that have the intention to of stealing it. One thing that I do not like is the price. It is a wonderful program with a lot of benefits, but it is very expensive when we compared it with other companies in the market.
