Symantec Email Threat Detection

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Symantec Email Threat Dectection and Response is used to filter incoming and outgoing mail traffic from Office 365 exchange. Our company use to have a challenge with users sharing sensitive information via email and since the implementation of the Symantec email threat detection tool we had no occurrences of such information passing inbound or outbound.

Pros

  • Detect credit numbers being shared via email
  • flagged email domains of known spammers
  • scanning attachments prior to releasing to the email user

Cons

  • I would like to see a mobile app that shows a dashboard of some sort
  • reduce to occurance of false positives
  • extended integration with 3rd party email clients

Likelihood to Recommend

I have had a suitation where the company domain was being blasted by tons of spam emails and the Symantec Email Threat Detection stood to the test and block all these harmful email from entering our users mailbox, for a less appropriate scenario would be the frequency of the false positives that are reported that I have to train the tool how to allow these traffic to pass.

Symantec Endpoint in Education

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Symantec Endpoint, now Broadcom for 11+ years. We install the client locally on all school-owned and as many student computers as possible. We have been less successful in that regard as we would like and are currently investigating a migration to a different true EDR product.

Pros

  • Scans computers for viruses
  • Notifies admins of infections
  • Good licensing process

Cons

  • Deployment
  • EDR

Likelihood to Recommend

From a price point Symantec cannot be beat in EDU. However, for better EDR a more robust, fully featured solution is desirable. I am not sure if Broadcom is continuing to develop the product either after purchasing it.
