Overview

Product Information on Symantec Endpoint Security

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Symantec Endpoint Security?

Symantec Endpoint Security is a software designed to provide threat prevention, detection, and response functionalities for endpoints across physical and virtual environments. The software incorporates features such as advanced malware protection, exploit prevention, behavioral analysis, and device control. It enables organizations to manage security policies, monitor endpoint activity, and automate incident response. Symantec Endpoint Security also provides integration with network and cloud security tools, supports central management, and offers capabilities for vulnerability assessment and application control. The software helps address the business problem of protecting endpoints against cyber threats and unauthorized access, facilitating compliance and reducing the risk of data breaches.

Symantec Endpoint Security Pricing

Symantec Endpoint Security software uses a subscription-based pricing model structured around per device or per user licensing with different tiers providing varying levels of features and protection, and pricing may vary depending on the number of endpoints and selected feature sets such as core protection, advanced threat prevention, and response capabilities.

“SES, it does what it need to do.”

3.0
Nov 4, 2022
Symantec Endpoint Security was easy for us to deploy through a central management server. It does not integrate well with other products and uses high performance from clients. It is a better alternative to Windows Defender. It does what it needs to do.

Symantec Endpoint Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

All event logs are stored into a platform SAAS, it has helpful features that block and/or allow specific process chains. We can map the attackers threat path fairly easily.

Like

I like the central management server and the ease of deployment. I haven't seen it breaking a program or service on endpoints so thats positive. It has nice reporting capabilities.

Like

Alerting, Dashboards, Integrations to on prem and Azure

Dislike

The Agent sometimes creates bottlenecks on systems, overwhelming the system resources, it also lacks a good way to re-install the agent.

Dislike

Experienced high performance on clients after an update. After an update a required reboot, this is very oldschool (but i'm also a Unix admin, so probably don't understand).

Dislike

Can be hard to fully manage alone as there are so many moving parts to this product...needs to be looked at and in the system all the time as new features and updates are released very often.
