Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, ESET and others in Anti-Malware Tools."Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The dashboard is good."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"What I like most about Symantec is the intrusion detection module. If you are scanning the environment, it will flag a possible intruder and tell you the IP and where the attack is coming from. Traditional antivirus solutions will never flag that. If you have a traditional SIEM, you might be able to pick that up. Symantec is a holistic endpoint security solution, so when you scan an endpoint, Symantec will let you know that something is happening to it."
"Symantec has cloud-based endpoint protection, so whether a user is off the network or on the network, the endpoint will be protected by the cloud."
"The solution is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to manage antivirus security. There is an admin console that helps you make policies and do deployment of the clients, to make them reachable and to deploy updates."
"Symantec ATP provides quite a good overview of how threats have spread within the company."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Is not a full anti-ransomware solution."
"Difficult to set up on older systems."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
"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."
","
"If you're not charged with administering the product and you don't do it every day it can sometimes be difficult to remember how to do the simple basic things, so some type of help or guidance for your most regular or frequent tasks would be good."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The overall quality of the product needs to be improved because with the last session we had several issues with new versions. Also, the solution needs better protections."
