Symantec has helped secure all the school systems very easily. Students are not allowed to access sites which are not meant for them, access control is a wonderful feature.

It allows accounts with special privileges to filter certain web content and block harmful or inappropriate websites. It also has real-time threat protection so the service is constantly in use to protect you from potentially harmful websites. There's also cloud intergration so the service is linked to the cloud meaning your data is protected alongside the whole security platform.

The customer service the platform provides has been useful when I have had to use it. As well as this the implementation f installing the service was relatively easy too. Due to my frequent usage of this platform I don't think i could go back to not using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it is useful in the services it provides, it can be relatively expensive especially for smaller businesses on smaller budgets. Organisations looking to get a service like this one should probably assess that they can afford it, but if they can should definitely get it because it is a good service as reasoned with in my last answer. Sometimes the ease of use in the UI can be a little less intuitive or simple-looking as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
