Threat protection that is priced well, easy to deploy, and allows you to use the same agent for detection and response
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of this solution is for protection.Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
- "Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
What other advice do I have?
I am a user of Symantec as well as an admin with the Symantec support team. I was the technical support account manager and I would support other customers. Symantec release updates two or three times per day. If you have a low bandwidth it will never get updated, although there are options to resolve this. First, you have to decide on your requirements and what features you are looking for, then you can consider any endpoint detection and response solution. There are good products on the market; there is one in particular that is cloud-based, where you don't need a single investment, but you…
Vishnu Ramachandra
Security Engineer at Suraksha
IPS and user interface are great; includes deception technology component as part of SEP
What is our primary use case?
In the past, we deployed for Government organizations and right now we are dealing with a financial institution that is considering implementing Symantec. We primarily work in the Middle East and Australia. We are Symantec partners and implement the solution for our clients. I'm a security engineer.Pros and Cons
- "IPS and the user interface are good features."
- "The network forensics feature could be improved."
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend Symantec because the company provides great support from its engineers. Whenever we've had any issues, we give them a call and 10 or 20 minutes later, they make contact. They're also very good at helping us quote for tenders and they negotiate well. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

Cyber Security Engineer, Team Lead at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Dashboard shows new and unknown threats in the environment but support isn't so responsive
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
- "That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP."
What other advice do I have?
It's a good product if you have a lot of SAP solutions. I would rate it a six out of ten. Not a 10 because it works on version 14 but SAP clients have some issues and EDR is different on SAP. That's why I wouldn't recommend it for other systems. It works only with SAP clients. That's why I'm giving it a six. It would get higher if it worked on all networks without the help of SAP.

What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others. However, it is not possible to use it for small companies at this moment. It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable.
