Symantec Endpoint Security

Symantec Endpoint Security offers very similar features to the above products, they all do the same thing in terms of protecting your endpoints against cybersecurity threats. Installation wise the products all install from a central management system and report back to this for central reporting. Ultimately we choose Symantec as the reseller was able to offer additional incentives which made their pricing very competitive.

Symantec Endpoint Security stacks up very well against the competition. One thing that is very different about Symantec compared to the competitors is that Symantec will not steal all your PC resources and will run fine with most applications. Some other AV products are overly sensitive and will destroy PC resources, but Symantec does a very good job and will not do this to your machine.

Haven't had to use or consider another product. SES Does it all and more

Cylance: (Active Engage) (Cost 4x Symantec [Endpoint Security]) Cylance is a good product but we have it through an MSSP and only have read-only. The certification and training for the entry [are] like 3 hours of videos but a smart person can just go in and look as the system is very intuitive. Most of them are pretty easy to pick up, don't believe people who tell you it's impossible to give you access if you are not trained, read-only is harmless, except to the mssp. Crowdstrike: (Evaluated)(Cost 6x Symantec [Endpoint Security]) Seems like a good product, we may be engaging with them in the future, it has a lot of the same features as Symantec [Endpoint Security] but there are more people behind the events that take place after detection on your system. Cynet: (Evaluated)(Cost 2x Symantec [Endpoint Security]) Another good product, seems to have a lot going for it. May engage in the future, it seems they have more AI put into the actions that happen after a detection which is pretty cool. Arctic Wolf: (Evaluated)(Cost 15x Symantec [Endpoint Security]) Good product, part of a wholistic package provided by artic wolf, not really apples to apples though.

More robust options and protections than Malware Bytes. Better overall detection and alerting to security issues. The overall ROI was better for us and we felt would also give us a stronger line of defense in our overall security strategy. We chose Symantec Endpoint because it gave us a top notch product in a price point we wanted.
