"Symantec: A complete endpoint solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?

Symantec EDR is a complete endpoint solution that detects each anomaly happening at endpoint whether it is a workstation, server or any endpoint.

Symantec EDR has various modules including antivirus, there is HIPS (host intrusion prevention solution) that detects and responds to threats trying to evade any endpoint. It detects each and every process and network connection made by the endpoint. Antivirus solution detects and cleans any malware, virus, or trojan, scanning each binary executed on the system.

There is ATP too in Symantec EDR that is advanced threat protection which allows us to blacklist IOCs in advance.

The best thing is that this EDR not just detects but also responds/blocks threats.

This EDR solution not only provides protection against listed threats but also performs heuristic behavioral analysis that is very helpful to block new/zero-day or undetected threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)?

There is nothing as such I dislike yet about Symantec but yes nowadays we are having a lot of EDR in the market.

I saw various EDR other than Symantec are also good, having some new useful features like they are good in threat hunting and threat modeling, that I think can be improved in Symantec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
