Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."In general terms, it is working properly and according to our expectations. The comfort of feeling secure is the most valuable. Some customers had certain fears about changing the product because no one wants to lose any kind of information or to have some problems or inconsistencies while migrating from one product to another."
"The solution is great for large-scale deployments."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection."
"I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."
"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 solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"They have too high of a price tag. That's why they're losing the market share."
"It was hard to install and took us about three months."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
"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."
"If they could introduce it on the cloud, it would be ideal."
"I'm not on the most current version, however, I know one area that I didn't get into that I kind of wanted to is to have a mobile device management tool. My understanding is it's improved a lot from the version I have. It may be a feature that is already available."
