"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"Every time an OS comes out, I have to upgrade the Symantec product. They don't know how to patch it. If they would produce a patch instead of uninstalling or installing over the current version and rebooting I'd be a lot happier with the product."
"One suggestion I have for both regular and mobile would be to collect all the information about installed software, such as versions, and give that information to the manager to help with software management. That would be a huge advantage for everyone who administers these tools."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Installation of the tool on a workstation requires some technical knowledge, which could be more straightforward."
