"Its interface needs improvement. Its interface is very old, and it needs a new look. Other solutions, such as Sophos and BitDefender, have a better and more modern interface, whereas Symantec has had the same interface for a while. There has been no enhancement in the interface. They should update and provide a better interface in 2022 for a better user experience for their customers."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"The support from Symantec has been poor in my experience. They did not have the knowledge to help us with the issues we were facing."
"The support can be wanting. Sometimes the time to resolution is longer than I would expect."
"It would be interesting if Symantec Endpoint protection could also manage Windows Defender. If they were to add a feature, it would be nice if you could see the Symantec client and the Windows Defender client in case you choose to deploy both."
"The enterprise edition does not report attacks on external devices."
