We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros
"The technical support provided by Dell EMC comes with proactive technical support." More Dell Encryption Enterprise Pros »	"The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date.""It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines.""We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature.""The encryption feature is very good.""Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective.""We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data.""The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders." More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Pros »
Cons
"Some customers have less security in the solution regarding their data." More Dell Encryption Enterprise Cons »	"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow.""We would like some advanced security protection features.""The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product.""I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud.""If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution.""The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around." More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Cons »

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information Not Available

"It can be expensive. However, if you plan to scale or are at a large enterprise company, this product could be what you need.""The licensing costs yearly are $5000.""They have two solutions for encryption including Symantec Endpoint Encryption and PGP Endpoint Encryption. With one PGP license, you can deploy the two solutions. The PGP license gives you two options.""Depending on how many modules you will use (up to five) the licensing will be more expensive.""The pricing is fair but there is variability in our area that needs to be addressed.""The cost of this solution is a little on the higher side."
