"A really bad to manage and use product. The new versions is even worse..."
What do you like best about Symantec Encryption?

The fact that I have moved to another product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Encryption?

Everything. The product is hard to manage, slow, and support is almost non-existent. I don't have enough room to put into words everything that is wrong with the product. I just doesn't work correctly and has this nasty habit of breaking in ways that even Symantec can't explain(when you can get them on the phone anyway). The bundled with the cost of the application, it is just a good application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
