Endpoint Antivirus disadvantages from the users

HI April,

Thank you for your question.  

Many have said that Endpoint Security Protection Manager has reinvented the virus protection mold.

It has so many options that it can be tuned to do exactly what a company what it to.  

It is easy to install and performs at a very high level.  

It has Proactive and Intrusion Prevention on which you can enforce some rules on client computers.

There are many advantages, however, there are also a few disadvantages.  

When you integrate it with the Active directory, you cannot switch the mode manually.

Also, you cannot move one client from a group to another.

The imported organizational units are read-only, its data cannot be changed manually.

It may also cause over deployment because it is possible that a single client may use 1 seat during copy procedure.

Endpoint Security Manager is designed ideally for large environment, Mid-size to Large business

Hi April,

     I can list down bad reviews of Symantec Endpoint for you:

1. Its remote assistant requires IE, not compatible with MAC platform.
2. End user messages can be confusing, Learning how to change settings on the program may take time.
3. There are delays when accessing the web interface since they included a cloud based service.
4.
