Overall Satisfaction with Symantec Advanced Threat Protection

We are currently using Symantec Advanced Threat Protection in our corporate headquarters for both our test and production environments for both servers and client workstations as well as some of our other locations throughout the globe. This product gives us endpoint protection for all of your devices.
  • Easy to configure and deploy to client workstation.
  • Has a small footprint of the endpoint resources.
  • Effective solution for real time threat management.
  • Virus Scans are efficient and easily customizable.
  • Upgrading clients can be troublesome.
  • Admin portal lacks an up to date feel.
  • Protection Policies
  • Exclusion Lists
  • Virus Protection
  • Improved risk mitigation coupled with other security protocols
Frankly, the other products were too expensive to make the change from Symantec so we continued with the tried and true protection. We don't have the funding to move to a more expensive product and the manpower that it would take to implement a new solution.

Symantec has been the product from which others try to emulate for years. The ease of use and reliability is second to none but I am still worried about the Zero Day attacks that the new EDR cloud solutions tout is a better feature. We have a great deal of issues with keeping the clients up to date, especially since COVID-19 kick in our remote work policy. This made management of our endpoint devices rather difficult to keep up with.
