We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is great for large-scale deployments.""The encryption feature is very good.""The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date.""Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution.""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.""We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data.""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.""It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."

"We use the solution for data encryption.""The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security.""Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level.""The most valuable feature is the support for email.""Offers very good endpoint security solutions.""Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure.""Very good interface.""The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."

Cons
"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.""What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption.""It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP""The solution does not have endpoint control.""From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed.""They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."

"I would like to improve the solution's support.""The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There are recovery issues that arise.""It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring.""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.""We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution.""We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software.""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."
