What differentiates Symantec Enterprise Cloud from other similar products?

Symantec Enterprise Cloud has great visibility across cloud environments. You can monitor compliance for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other providers from a unified dashboard. The automated scanning and remediation workflows are excellent for enforcing cyber hygiene at scale.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I have been impressed by Symantec's capabilities and uncomplicated approach as a consultant implementing the software for businesses. The platform's risk scoring shows your most pressing vulnerabilities. Continuous compliance monitoring is important for regulatory mandates like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. CSPM alerts let you address drift from defined policies.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The data can be overwhelming at first, but it's helpful to have default filters and views based on different people's compliance needs. Some competitors' UIs may be more intuitive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Instead of becoming overwhelmed by inputs, the platform automatically collects and correlates signals to find real threats. This has allowed lean IT teams to effectively mitigate exposures while operating securely in the cloud. For example, one software company was struggling with AWS costs due to inactive resources and misconfigurations. After deploying Symantec's policies, they immediately saved 27% of wasted cloud spend. This shows how Symantec transforms cloud complexity into control over cyber risk.
