Symantec Endpoint Protection Alternatives
Our current contract with Symantec for their crappy SEP software is over in about a month and we really want to consider other programs. A must have for the alternative is that it must have a management console.

I find it really buggy, some of the features in it tend to crash very often. It has brought down the access to network drives on our domain. I have spoken to many people including consultants and they all believe that SEP is a unfinished product, it has potential but it not all their. -

It seems that with each maintenance revision they are fixing all the stuff that shouldn't have ever (ever) been broken to begin with... latest revision seems to be pretty stable though.
Which MR are you running?
Alternatives? Depends on your environment. Tell us more.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands... -

I've had problems with Endpoint in the past dealing with VPN connections. Could never get them to work with Endpoint running. Spent a lot of time on the phone with Symantec, to no avail.
Left the co. soon afterwards, and I know they were scrapping the product all together, and looking at Sunbelt Software's Vipre. I never used their enterprise version, but the home version is great. -

We use CA. Works great in a terminal server environment too.
Anti-Virus for the Enterprise - CA
Had SEP and this product in my opinion blows SEP away! -

My company recently switched from SEP to Sophos. The Management Console is excellent and deployment was a breeze.Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities. -

I have deployed TrendMicro at a few places and love it. One thing I really like is that if you get the advanced package (which included spam filtering) they can keep your email queued.
Last September we had the remnants of a hurricane pass through, then really bad ice storms in the winter...
Electricity was out for a long time for a lot of places. Not losing email that was coming in was a pretty big deal.
