Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold."
"We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."
"The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have."
"The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server."
"The granularity of applying the policies is valuable."
"The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength."
"The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"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."
"Managing SEP is very easy, and also troubleshooting part is easily managed."
"Endpoint Protection is the next generation. It covers antivirus, spamware, ransomware..."
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"Its ease of use in deploying it and regular updates are most valuable."
"It is a stable product."
"A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."
"Could have better reporting capabilities and better support."
"The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus."
"Agent management is a challenging task."
"They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution."
"The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them."
"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"Future releases should ideally be cheaper."
"It needs to die. In my opinion, Symantec was a really great security company, 10, 15 years ago. They went out, they bought all the great tools and then they never did anything with them. So they've just fallen behind and there's nothing that's going to work now to bring them back up the date that's going to regain user confidence."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
"The Centralized Management could be improved."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
