Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Akamai, Cisco and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."
"Good file integrity monitoring features."
"The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."
"The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"I like the intrusion prevention and Sonar features."
"One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"Some of the features that were important were a built-in firewall and device control."
"I have found the solution to be very scalable, we have 700 employees using the solution in our organization."
"The most valuable feature is that I don't feel that it is there. It works in the background and doesn't interfere with my daily work. All the scans are done in the background. This is the biggest advantage of this product. It works because I have never been infected since I have been using this solution. Its interface is also very good."
"With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"The malware and ransomware protections could be improved, which was ultimately the reason why I stopped using the solution."
"The Centralized Management could be improved."
"It would be nice to be able to manage the endpoints a bit further. A valuable attribute would be the management of software inventory, software deployment, and third-party software deployment. I would like to see the ability to deploy and delete unlicensed software. Many users try to install what they shouldn't, so that would be really useful."
"It would be helpful if this product provided patch management functionality."
"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
