What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?

A multimodal approach to endpoint security is how Symantec Endpoint Security is intended to handle problems. Powered by the largest consumer threat intelligence network in the world, it goes beyond conventional antivirus to incorporate firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and advanced defense technologies.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Modifying this product to meet our unique needs is my favorite feature. The policy-setting capability is remarkable since it allows us to control endpoint access all through entire organization. When I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on my PC, I am always ready to go. Symantec Endpoint Protection uses my internet connection to monitor every form of threat imaginable in the background while I'm at work.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It uses up most of the system's resources, which slows down the system and makes it less effective. As a result, some programs might operate poorly or stop altogether. Business is impacted by this. There should be more videos and training materials available for Symantec users so that anyone with a basic understanding of the software may use it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We all understand that there are several unwelcome dangers, attackers, and viruses out there today that can destroy our data and information as well as steal it. Symantec Endpoint security is a crucial security solution for all sorts and sizes of enterprises. We have chosen the Symantec endpoint security product in order to protect both our organization and individuals from such threats and attacks.
