Symantec Endpoint Security Pricing
Symantec is one of the major players in that space, so the licensing isn't as cheap as some other antivirus products like Trend Micro. It's reasonable but not the cheapest. Any entry-level Symantec user is coughing up a lot of money compared to the other antivirus software.
Windows Defender is practically free for customers. When you have the option of using Microsoft Defender, and you look at the price of Symantec, the gap is wide. Trend Micro is a bit closer, so competitive pricing is something Symantec may also need to consider.
View full review »The price of Symantec is very good compared to other vendors. I had access to information about pricing when we were renewing. I don't know if the renewal was cheaper than when contracting it the first time, but the renewal price was better than many other vendors' first-time prices.

Pricing is handled by a separate team. Whenever a new client asks for a recommendation, we provide it, but they deal directly with Symantec or other vendors for the pricing.
View full review »It is normal. If you are an educational institute, they give you a very good discount. If you are coming from the banking side, they may or may not give you a discount. I'm working with seven companies, and normally, they get a 65% to 70% discount on everything.
There are various components. You have to know what exactly you want. If you are just going to protect your endpoint, you won't buy Symantec Endpoint Security Complete. You would buy the Endpoint Enterprise, which is on the lower side. Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is on the higher side because you can also manage your mobiles and other devices. EDR is also a part of it, whereas, with the enterprise version, you don't get EDR. Overall, the price depends on the number of security components you want.

The price of Symantec is on the higher end. They face some competition from a company called Quick Heal, which is much cheaper than Endpoint Security. They offer three years of protection at just 900 rupees.

The pricing is good, very moderate, and the licensing is also good. It gives you more room to install a lot of endpoints and it even gives you the opportunity to install it on your mobile phone without any extra cost.
The one issue we have is that whenever we buy a license, it takes us to a new tenant. We communicate with our local partners and they give us the license key. Then, we have to go to the portal and apply it, but sometimes it doesn't work. We then have to create a new administrative account and migrate all our endpoints. That is the only major issue we have been battling with. Apart from that, it's fine.

The pricing is pretty much at the market standard. I don't see any issues with it. It depends on case to case. Symantec is not that cheap and it's not that expensive compared to CrowdStrike. I would put them in the "middle block."

Symantec Endpoint Security is a moderately priced solution. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten.

Compared to Cisco AMP, which is very expensive, its price is okay. It's also cheaper than Malwarebytes.
The license that you purchase lasts a period of time. After that, you again need to purchase another license. Otherwise, you will not be able to get support from Symantec every time you have issues.

I am not sure of the initial cost, but the yearly renewals are quite affordable, which is a good thing. The price seems to have come down in recent years, and with the alternatives that are out there, such as Microsoft Defender, it needs to maintain that affordability to make it attractive.

My understanding is that the price is quite good and competitive. My advise is to invest the necessary time and effort to deploy it correctly and with minimal disruption. In the enterprise arena, if you don't have the in-house expertise in the more complex areas of the product do your organization a favor and get expert assistance.

When it comes to pricing, Sophos is preferable to Symantec. It provides a cloud-based dashboard which affords control and an easy centralized management system. This is of considerable benefit and explains why we have decided to go with Sophos.

We usually go on a per-seat basis, and it's usually yearly. The prices fluctuate, but this year I think it was maybe around $12,000. If you're looking at the on-prem costs for the virtual server and the licensing for the server, that would be the only extra cost.

However, considering the impact, risk , downtime, and principally, the low support quality provided that the oldest solution provided, were the main reason to start look forward for a newer one. These were the main reason that I migrated to Symantec. After a year of augmenting many open tickets and find internal customer satisfaction was really low, we convinced the board that it was time to migrate before having a huge impact for the business and company reputation.
Regarding the licensing, it was important negotiate a long contract to get a more attractive price, including advanced support in case of crisis.
