"Currently we have 800-plus nodes connected with this solution, without any issues. The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is Click-time URL protection."
"What I like most about Symantec Advanced Threat Protection is its notification capability."
"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides."
"The Application Control code and the easy integration are valuable features."
"They manage to solve detection quite nicely. There is some rather elaborate detection compared to other providers."
"Symantec Endpoint Protection provides end-to-end protection. Along with antivirus protection, it has a lot of key areas, including intrusive prevention, firewall features, and application and device control."
"The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module."
"It is stable and reliable."
"Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."
"It is very scalable."
"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use."
"It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
"The cloud platform needs to have improvement in terms of the user interface and the different capabilities it has available. It needs to match the other leading next-gen EDR products that are available in the market. That's the reason why we are stepping away from Symantec. Their cloud environment is just generally lacking in comparison to others."
"It should be able to collect information if the agent is disabled."
"The administration interface needs a lot of improvement. It should be UI based, and simple. They need to improve it. It's pretty much not that friendly compared to what we were using as Bitdefender before. It's okay but is improving, actually."
"Entire threat protection is not available for the advanced features."
"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"Symantec appliances need improvement. The whole appliance environment is a robust system and it needs a massive amount of storage space. If you have to increase or speed up the background storage it's a pretty complicated process. The scalability and sizing is critical, and if you do it wrong you run into issues pretty quickly."
"Scalability could be better."
"We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats."
"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
"Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology."
"There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client."
"The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."
"Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet."
