The product has all the security features we require as an organization, including intelligent features such as notification alerts and predicting future attacks. The threat intelligence and detection are excellent, and the solution provides great visuals and logs so that we can analyze any attacks on our servers. GIN is a powerful tool in terms of detection capability across endpoints, email, and web traffic, as it can scan them with its advanced threat intelligence. The product can detect threats, report them to us, and quarantine them."
"The solution can be scaled to handle different threats."

"The installation process is pretty difficult."
"Can be improved by allowing computers to be excluded from policies."

"I would like to see fileless attack protection."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
