Behind the times, lacking in features

What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
Not many differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other competitors I am afraid. The tool looks to favour signature based detection compared to the more modern behaviour based detection, a companied with a cluttered reporting output.

Ease of Implementation
What do you dislike most about this product?
Behind the times. The tool seems to offer little to no innovation in comparison to other market leaders in this space such as crowdstrike or MS Defender.

Unless the price is significantly lower than Microsoft or CrowdStrike is able to offer I would seek to take on a more modern solution.

Symantec Endpoint Security is a complete security solution for the companies. The product has lots of features. The scans can be scheduled at particular times or manual scans can also be performed. It has the capability for real time checks. If any plug and play device is attached to the computer, the Symantec Advanced Threat mechanism scans and checks the device in real time and if any vulnerabilities are detected it quarantines them.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is nothing to dislike for Symantec Endpoint Security. It is a useful product, however the product needs to be kept updated with latest anti virus definitions so that the latest threats are taken care of. Also the platform can protect the systems from Ransomwares. One thing to note is that you need to have good compute for Symantec as it consumes resources.

I would surely recommend others to use Symantec Endpoint Security.
