Avantages

I used daily Symantec Endpoint Security. It works well. It automatically detects viruses and malfunctions. It protects my personal computer.

Inconvénients

Still not found nothing. It is doing well.

Avantages

In the company where I previously worked I had an excellent experience with this software, since it allows to have a central console where the IT Personnel. it has full control over the Antivirus configuration, updates, etc., without the intervention of the users, it offers peace of mind and allows them to concentrate on their work and not be aware of any threat. It has proven to be an efficient antivirus, in the company we did not have any catastrophic event over 7 years.

Inconvénients

Eventually it can detect a threat when it really isn't, such as installing some component like a tablet driver, the antivirus detects it as a threat and blocks it, when it shouldn't have, but otherwise I'm satisfied with the Software .

Avantages

I have had this protection on my personal laptop for years. It was easy to install, updates automatically and renews automatically. I have updated my laptop a few times since installing it and it was also extremely simple to transfer over to each new laptop. This is basically a set it and forget it software. In the many years I’ve used it, I’ve never had a malware issue. It’s great value for service.

Inconvénients

I don’t have any cons to list here. This software is extremely effective.

Avantages

The way it handles visiting malicious sites is incredible.

Inconvénients

The interface could have been better. Autorun files of external hard drives/pen drives are always blocked by it. Some websites are readily blocked and do not have an option to allow access to them in the opened webpage. Infected files should be repaired from quarantine.

Avantages

is among the top internet security programs (anti-virus/malware). It is simple to use and has a ton of useful features.

one of the excellent security programs available online. Although it has many beneficial features, I like how well it can optimize my PC.

Avantages

Symantec Endpoint Protection is a great tool to protect my computer against threats and viruses. It works great with my browser when trying to open a new website.

Inconvénients

There is nothing that I like least about Symantec Endpoint Protection since it protects my computer daily.

Avantages

In today's internet based environment, a strong anti-malware, intrusion prevention and firewall software is a must. I have been pleased with the alerts provided by Symantec and have had no issues with malware or intrusions since I have had this tool installed on my PC.

Inconvénients

I view computer security software tools similar to an insurance policy -- they are necessary because of the unpredictability of bad things happening. What I like least however, about Symantec or any similar tool, is that there is a somewhat significant cost to protect against this unpredictability.

Avantages

Opening task manger you can see that there is single process running for Symantec, hence it is very low on resources consumption. It provides many functionalities in a single bundle. It protects most endpoint devices by offering simple features. It gives upgrade whenever we have a need which means that we are always protected. We don't have to do much configurations as the default serves better. But still if we need any configurations we can do them.

Inconvénients

I don't like the prompts for password time and again. The management should be possible from local as well as web based console.

Avantages

Symantec Endpoint Protection is a security software which is used all around the globe. It is super easy to install and administer. It provides great protection against threats or malware. It is doing a perfect job and it works more than antivirus. I love its ability of doing scan quickly. Another plus point is that security updates occur from time to time.

Inconvénients

Cloud system is not easy to manage and install

Avantages

The product is much lighter on resources. It is accurate and very rarely has false-positives. It is easy to configure and automatically updates itself in random intervals.

Inconvénients

Symantec End Point Protection can border on the paranoid. Every time an aspect is updated (whether an executable or otherwise), Symantec always prompts you if "you want <the Product> to access the network?" If you answer NO accidentally, then critical systems could be affected.in random intervals further freeing up resources.

Avantages

The endpoint protection is helps us to protect all the network connectivity and protect them. You can schedule the timing according to that scanning will takes place. Various features like check logs and live updates makes one of the best protection tool available.

Some of the updates are automatic , i think users should have options to handle that. Using this after various times i realize that it takes lots of resources of system , other than that i don't think anything more i know .
