Symantec Advanced Threat Protection Initial Setup

The deployment time depends on the number of endpoints. For 70,000 endpoints, it takes a few months to complete. Whereas for 50 endpoints, it takes only three days. I rate the process a five out of ten.

It is very straightforward and only takes a couple of hours to reinstall the entire structure. We didn’t need any third-party assistance.

They have a very simple and easy implementation. They have been around for a long time, and they have been very easy to deploy, support, and manage.

The deployment duration depends on the size of the environment. It depends on whether you have 100 workstations or 10,000 workstations. Regardless, it scales very well. It takes minutes per workstation versus days.

After the installation, you have to configure it. They've made that pretty easy. It takes maybe five minutes per workstation to make sure it is working and running, but then you also have alerting and monitoring. So, you got to monitor it. Otherwise, it doesn't do any good if you're not telling people what's going on. The monitoring, detection, and response piece of it can be very expensive.

The initial implementation was a little bit complex because you have to set up a lot of databases and connectivity between the databases and it's tricky because it's Windows-based. If it could have been a Unix or a Linux based, it would have been pretty straightforward, it would have its own database and everything.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly difficult and not complex. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process.

The deployment might have taken two hours. It's quite fast.

Whether the initial setup is straightforward or complex depends on on the company and its requirements and if it plans to integrate the solution into other products.

Deployment times vary; it really depends on the organization's existing architecture and on the integration. For example, if you like to only implement systems for the EDR facility, all the EDR, along with the manager, is a pretty fast process. However, if you would like to integrate it with your email security or with your web proxy, or with anything else, that will be complicated and will lengthen the processes. The implementation can take anywhere from one month to one year.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward because the team that came in and helped us deploy it had already done so in various other business units within our parent company. They had done this setup many times.

For EPP, Endpoint Protection Product the setup easy. You can almost set it up blindfolded. 

For ATP, I bumped into some documentation with misleading paragraphs. The video appliance requires three network interfaces and the documentation is confusing because they are, on one side, documented and seen from the internet. On the other side, they have been named as seen from the internal video appliance. There is no real correlation between these two. You scratch your head two days trying to figure it out. They should at least document it much better.
