Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."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 most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system."
"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 monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."
"The console and tools are very user-friendly."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Security is easy to use, fast, and good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The IPS function (with no firewall needed to be installed in the SEP client) is quite good."
"No maintenance is required after a successful installation phase."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"The anti-virus and firewall policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."
"There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience."
"This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine."
"The Centralized Management could be improved."
"It would be nice to see more antivirus features for USB control."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."
"The enterprise edition does not report attacks on external devices."
"The overall quality of the product needs to be improved because with the last session we had several issues with new versions. Also, the solution needs better protections."
"The solution could be more secure and scalable."
"Its interface needs improvement. Its interface is very old, and it needs a new look. Other solutions, such as Sophos and BitDefender, have a better and more modern interface, whereas Symantec has had the same interface for a while. There has been no enhancement in the interface. They should update and provide a better interface in 2022 for a better user experience for their customers."
"One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools."
