"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"The product has valuable features for insights."
"The product has been quite stable."
"I like the firewall and the intrusion prevention features, and just the basic anti-malware and anti-virus seems to be pretty effective as well."
"The IPS function (with no firewall needed to be installed in the SEP client) is quite good."
"The solutions' main features are patch management and security."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"It's a little bit of a learning curve to understand the logic of searching for things and trying to find what you're looking for in Elastic Security."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"It seems that its not working very well with VMWare."
"Managements' number one item on the "Wish List" would have to do with the real-time scan of external media inserted into any client."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"The solution could be more secure and scalable."
"There are a few negative points. They should separate the feature for each separate solution for mobile devices. The second one is about the price, it's expensive. Finally, the third would be the complexity of implementation."
"Symantec has not properly promoted Symantec Endpoint Security in the market. In my opinion, the product should be properly promoted."
