Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
"The encryption feature is very good."
"This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management."
"The solution’s installation was easy."
"The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date."
"The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them."
"It is stable."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The security could be improved."
"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."
"It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP"
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"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."
"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."
