Pros
"Technical support is very responsive. You just have to open a ticket. They respond in a timely manner. Their response is good. I'm satisfied.""The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features.""The great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services.""It has certainly helped out our audit efforts because we each stay compliant in terms of various security standards.""They manage to solve detection quite nicely. There is some rather elaborate detection compared to other providers.""Endpoint to network protects the line.""The most valuable feature is Click-time URL protection.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities.""Improved our systems and our customers' by providing better malware protection, defense against zero-day threats, and improved network security.""It allows us to be more hands off in checking on emails and networking traffic. We can set up a bunch of different alerts and have it alert us.""If we are receiving spam emails, or other types of malicious email coming from a particular email ID, then we are able to block them using this solution.""The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks.""The most valuable feature is the view into the application.""Support is very helpful and responsive.""The installation phase was easy."

Cons
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled.""The cloud platform needs to have improvement in terms of the user interface and the different capabilities it has available. It needs to match the other leading next-gen EDR products that are available in the market. That's the reason why we are stepping away from Symantec. Their cloud environment is just generally lacking in comparison to others.""An improvement could be made on the reporting because then it would be easier to collect information and submit it for compliance.""The product's support services need improvement.""The security features need to be improved.""Not ideal for advanced threat protection.""There are some ‎features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered.""Entire threat protection is not available for the advanced features."

More Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Cons →

"It doesn't connect with the cloud, advanced machine learning is not there. A known threat can be coming into the network and we would want the cloud to look up the problem. I would also like to see them develop more file replication and machine learning.""If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job.""It would be great if we could create granular reports based on the protocols, types of attacks, regions of attack, etc. Also we would like to easily be able to add exceptions to rules in cases of false positives.""The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless.""Its documentation can be improved. The main problem that I see with FireEye is the documentation. We are an official distributor and partner of FireEye, and we have access to complete documentation about how to configure or implement this technology, but for customers, very limited documentation is available openly. This is the area in which FireEye should evolve. All documents should be easily available for everyone.""The product's integration capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required.""I would love to see better reporting. Because you can't export some of the reports in proper formats, it is hard to extract the data from reports.""I heard that FireEye recently was hacked, and a lot of things were revealed. We would like FireEye to be more secure as an organization. FireEye has to be more protective because it is one of the most critical devices that we are using in our environment. They have a concept called SSL decryption, but that is only the packet address. We would like FireEye to also do a lot of decryption inside the packet. Currently, FireEye only does encryption and decryption of the header, but we would like them to do encryption and decryption of the entire packet."

    Overview

    Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is a single unified solution that uncovers, prioritizes, and remediates advanced attacks. The product fuses intelligence from endpoint, network, and email control points, as well as Symantec’s massive global sensor network, to stop threats that evade individual security products. It leverages your existing Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Email Security.cloud investments, so it does not require the deployment of any new agents. You can deploy a new installation of Symantec Advanced Threat Protection and start to discover suspicious activity in under an hour. Using the proven technology in Symantec Insight reputation based detection, Symantec SONAR behavioral analysis with the new Symantec Cynic sandbox and file analysis platform, Symantec Advanced Threat Protection provides better detection and prioritization than other vendors, allowing security analysts to “zero in” on just those specific security events of importance.

    Detect the undetectable and stop evasive attacks. Trellix Network Detection and Response (NDR) helps your team focus on real attacks, contain intrusions with speed and intelligence, and eliminate your cybersecurity weak points.
