Overall Satisfaction with Symantec Endpoint Security

We used to use Symantec Endpoint Security for a long time and were completely satisfied with the quality-price value. The antivirus provides a good level of defense from viruses and malware but has some bugs with web-application scanning (I had an issue with Chrome). Files and network inspection is one of the best in the security market as well.

  • Business workflow stability
  • Reducing the load on Help Desk
  • Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (formerly Microsoft Defender ATP)
In comparison with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Symantec Endpoint Security has, in my opinion, more scalable file inspection/spyware/antivirus settings. Plus it is more stable in a multi-OS user environment. But it also has numerous issues with itself and related Symantec products (especially after it was taken over by Broadcom). Microsoft product is easy to manage, it is built-in and has better support.

Symantec Endpoint Security as a multiplatform software is one of the best solutions in end-users protection market. From my experience, it is equally good on Windows and Mac desktops. But contemporary IT world requires a complex solution for enterprise security and the other Symantec (Broadcom) products (like Symantec Message Gateway) do not as good as Endpoint Security.
