Symantec Endpoint Protection is being used by the global Ford Motor Company organization. All the computers owned by the company have this software installed as default. It protects our hardware/software from online and local threats (spyware, virus, malware etc.).
  • Different scan options available based on the needs (Active scan: 1-2 minutes / Full scan: 30-120 minutes).
  • Easy capture and removal of malware, spam, virus etc.
  • Live Update on protection database - makes you feel safe all the time.
  • Easy access to logs (Threat protection, Virus & Spyware, Network Mitigation...).
  • Simple interface and easy management of all the tools/features.
  • The administrative console gives rights to admins.
  • Can cause computers with old tech to slow down during start up
  • Less detailed report capability
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.
  • No harm on the critical files due to excellent protection
  • Safe online work due to clean internet connection
  • No negative impacts
Back in the day, Norton was one of the choices in the company; while now Symantec is being used as default in the global organization due to its advantages against the alternatives. Very briefly, Symantec provides more benefits especially when considered as a business-level solution.

Endpoint Encryption works well. We have deployed it on all company laptops and it has provided needed protection for our data. It is fairly straightforward to install and use. Good product to have for security.
  • The user experience and the robust combination of PGP and SEE to make SEE 12 has been outstanding.
  • E-mail, file and whole disk encryption are excellent features that give great protection for my environment.
  • Needs to be more granular when it comes to managing external storage devices such as USB drives.
Legal and compliance departments are required to have all the desktops' hard drives encrypted and to provide the complete inventory to demonstrate that the encryption covers all the computers in the firm. I would recommend other customers to consider SEE as encryption solution.
  • Protection of our data. We have had several laptops stolen since implementation and this had protected our data.
Full Disk encryption solution for roaming users and key management. From an end-user perspective the product is very intuitive and easy to use. Leaving minimal footprint to the ultimate end user experience. And the integration with BitLocker is excellent. The best tool out there for encrypting data.
