Traditional and trustful solution for corporative environments. It is my job partner, it protects me along my day without being disturbing. Rarely I see an advice for it or need to take a manual action, and it stills there, doing its good job.
I recommend it, for sure! In our company we use it for all the employees. Our IT department has full control over adjustments of all the installations. Employees don't need to worry about scheduled scannings, updatings, fine tunning or anything else. Its pre installed on all the machines and is there to protect, not to disturb. Its awesome! What can be a pro in one hand, can also be a con in the other hand.
The way it works on client machines, by being configured by IT department and not locally may cause some troubles. You just can't set an action different than quarantine a suspect object. But we all know that sometimes it can be a bad judgment from the antivirus side, like a driver for Android that I needed to install and it was classified as unknown source and therefore didn't allowed me to proceed with installation.
At least an option to ignore the object could be better. Symantec is one of the toughest antivirus software's out there. I must say that this is by far one of the greatest enemies of Support and in case you want to be sure that something won't be changed in any possible way Firewall, incoming connections from some PC in general or files copied , make sure to get Symantec as you won't be disappointed while using it even a little bit and I can sign this as an agent who is working with it for a couple years so far.
This antivirus is so good, that it looks like an impossible obstacles sometimes on my work, as I keep encountering it daily while working on some of my Customers. It is easy to deploy, password protected if you are trying to uninstall it or stop it, you can't do it without password and provides user protection from almost anything, especially as it integrates and utilizes Windows Firewall and Virus Protection on Windows 10 for instance, to provide impenetrable wall for any attack.
I can say that sometimes I don't like how tough this one is, as it is my daily job to make my software work fine with Symantec, but if Customer Administrator is not online, I am unable to do anything. That's why I would recommend it to everyone out there, as I am battling it for a couple years so far and I know how good it is. Reasons for Switching to Symantec Endpoint Security. I used it for a couple years back and it was good, but I wanted to check some alternatives. Luca from Centro Computer SpA.
Industry: Information Technology and Services. It is quite good, but the product cannot be completly compared to the competitors. RIch of a lot of funtionalities like app isolation, app control and a complete XDR console.
Use to be fantastic. But that was then. My, how things have changed. At the time, I found it to offer the best balance of effectiveness and efficiency. Customers support was prompt and professional, and even after I fled the IT profession to preserve my sanity I kept SEP running on my own home computers.
All was well until I upgraded to version 14, at which point everything pretty much went to hell. The only way for me to get through a scan was to limit the scans to known file types. At which point they made it clear that they intended to keep me jumping through hoops indefinitely. I finally told them that their constant stream of emails demanding yet more logfiles constituted harassment, and I blocked them at my email gateway for extra protection.
Great job, folks. Now, I use Sophos. Incredibly granular control of each security component, customizable to suit a broad range of business environments. IF you can get it to run, you get an amazing amount of control over the security policies in place for different types of machines and different offices within your business.

Matt from Rinchem. Company Size: 1,, employees. Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain. Time Used: Less than 2 years. Symantec Endpoint Security gets the job done. This was a good solution and is a good solution for any organization, but for us we determined that we wanted a single provider for as much of our security suite as possible. We needed something better than Windows Defender and Symantec offers centralized management, and reporting among other things. It worked well, but isn't perfect.
