"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."
"It's a single-agent installation with many features including wireless protection."
"The valuable features are device control, SONOR, and anti-virus."
"Its ease of use in deploying it and regular updates are most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."

"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"The solution needs an easier integration in heterogeneous and dynamic environments."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →
"It is only available to use on computers with higher-end specs."
"The artificial intelligence of Symantec End-User Endpoint Security could be better."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
"More control features can be added, and its performance can also be better. Sometimes, the performance is not good when we access the cloud console. Moving to each tab is slow. The dashboard can be a little bit user-friendly. For some users, it is a bit difficult. If someone is a little bit familiar with it, then it is fine. Otherwise, it is hard to find policies in Symantec."
"There are limitations because everyone these days has hybrid working; however, the endpoint does not work for us unless we are connected to a VPN, which is a major limitation."
"Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that."
"I think the CPU dependence should be enhanced."
"Its GUI needs improvement. It's good, but it needs to be improved in terms of management and reporting."
