We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities.""This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management.""We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable.""The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop.""One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings.""It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution.""Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."

Cons
"From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution.""The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around.""The UI could be improved.""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 GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."

"Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates.""Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful.""The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone.""Contact Backup.""When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually.""There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow.""This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware.""There is always room for improvement in security."

  • "Very cheap in cost"
  • "Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "We have a license that we renew yearly."
