Overall Satisfaction with Symantec Advanced Threat Protection

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.
  • It has a good overview and it is easy to dig down into specific assets
  • The set-up was quite easy
  • The admin GUI is very clear
  • It can be hard to set up automated remediations to repeated threats
  • Depending on the device, it will incur some performance penalties
  • Updates are not automatic
  • Complete asset overview
  • Automated threat detection
  • Manual threat remediation
  • It takes less time to maintain and troubleshoot the internal network
  • It makes the internal network more secure
The alternatives we tested we all good contenders with comparable features to Symantec Advanced Threat Protection. In the end there we a few minor pros that pushed us over the edge; The GUI was more easy to navigate, the set-up appeared to be simpler and the Symantec name gave us more confidence in their threat detection capabilities.

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.
