Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily.""Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection.""The solution is pretty stable.""I like the solution for its encryption.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use.""Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable.""I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot.""The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them."

"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good.""Overall, I think that it's very interesting.""We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support.""Offers very good endpoint security solutions.""The most valuable feature is the support for email.""The disk encryption is great.""The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment.""Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."

Cons
"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 a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""The solution does not have endpoint control.""One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom.""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 product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product.""The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."

More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically.""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.""Integration and support could be improved.""Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust.""Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities.""There are recovery issues that arise.""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.""I would like to improve the solution's support."
