"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."

"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"Technical support could be better."
"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
"When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."
"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The security could be improved."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
