Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) across our entire organization. It has worked well for us. The client can be deployed as managed or unmanaged (for off-site stand alone units).

Pros and Cons

Easy to manage from the central server
Automated reports that are set up to tell me status and scheduled reports of the environment
Easy to roll out updated versions to end user machines

Building out the installation package for new installations can be difficult the first time you do it; but once you learn how, it is easily repeated. Existing clients are automatically updated by the server.

Return on Investment

Hard to place a value on ROI, but you cannot afford to run a sub-par antivirus.

Alternatives Considered

Malwarebytes and Norton Internet Security

I can hardly recall having to contact their support; product has run well! From the times I have contacted them, it was usually just in regard to something I could not figure out how to do. The product has not had much in the way of technical issues.
