Cons
"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly.""If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution.""Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure.""They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share.""Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release.""The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around.""It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP""More features need to be included in the encryption software."

More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful.""They need to come up with cloud solutions.""We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software.""I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration.""There are recovery issues that arise.""The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function.""In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support.""It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
