We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Pros →

"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders.""The solution is easy to use.""Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection.""Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action.""We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data.""This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management.""It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""I like the solution for its encryption."

Cons
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release.""More features need to be included in the encryption software.""Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure.""The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines.""There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve.""One feature that is lacking is integration with Symantec Information Centric (ICT). As it is now, I don't see how to integrate the encryption with ICT, and in my opinion this is an area that certainly requires encryption, even though it's no longer supported by Broadcom.""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.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad."
