Symantec Cloud Protection is the ultimate solution and by using the same we have saved lots of money in terms of better ROI and manageability. We have eliminated all physical infrastructure and used the same from Cloud. We have multiple sites with internet connectivity hence cloud model really helps us to meet our extreme protection requirement.

  • Cloud model with Offline Agent deployment
  • Complete insights of infra
  • Cloud model improvement

If you are having multiple or single cloud customers then Symantec Cloud Workload Protection will really help you. You can configure the protection from cloud itself and all protection will work in real-time mode. And If you are having all infrastructure on-premises than it is least suitable to deploy Symantec Cloud Workload Protection as there are so many other vendors who do well in such types infra model.
  • Cloud Protection
  • Multi-sites single Windows management
  • Ransomware Protection
  • Reporting Structure

We have introduced it as a security measure on our PC. Since we handle personal information, we have carefully considered the introduction of security software before introducing it. The content is the same as in other reviews, but it is very reassuring that you can always receive the latest security information with this program.
  • Because it is intuitive, security measures are taken without the need for any particular knowledge on the part of the employee.
  • I think it is a merit that you can always enjoy the latest security, such as virus patterns, taking advantage of the cloud type features.
  • We are thankful that the client side is hardly aware of the ever-increasing threats.
  • Occasionally, the security system would detect the introduction of a dedicated tool or system from another company that is generally not available.
  • With a 16GB laptop, the PC will be slow when scanning.
  • While developing, I feel a little inconvenience that the PC freezes when scanning runs behind the scenes.
The high level of IT expertise was recognized when using Symantec Cloud Workload Protection as security software when forming a business partnership with a major IT company. In addition, since it is possible to centrally manage the control of USB devices to each employee's PC, it is of great help to the head of the company's security department to be able to handle it with one hand.
  • Provided the adjustments are made, the security check will be performed at a fixed date and time each week, which has significantly reduced the hours of management work.
  • It is nice to be able to set a schedule and scan on the scheduled day.
  • You can set from what time on what day of the week.
  • Since there are few steps for introduction and centralized administration is possible, I believe it is ideal for use by multiple users, such as companies and organizations.
  • The time required for anti-virus measures for each user's endpoint has been reduced.
  • It is very useful because you can scan and update virus definitions from the console for your device.
