Symantec Endpoint Security

When it comes to switching between clients, Adaptive Defense 360 offers a far superior management platform. Managing the machines and implementing group policies are also made simpler. Additionally, Adaptive Defense 360's whitelist is far superior to Webroot's standard blacklist in that nothing goes through without being reviewed by Adaptive Defense 360.

Usability

It's so simple to use. If you don't know a lot about Adaptive Defense 360, you don't need to know a lot of particulars to utilize this endpoint protection because they display it all in a relatively broad way and put everything in its proper place. Also, the Adaptive Defense 360 program has never caused any problems for us, unlike a previous endpoint software that had a defect that caused the network card to be deactivated.

Central Management

Endpoint management has improved greatly as a result of this change. All of our clients may be accessed directly from our partner account without the need for multiple accounts. As a result, we have significantly reduced the number of passwords we need to keep track of.
