What is Symantec Encryption?

Laptops and removable media devices have provided today’s mobile workforce the freedom to work anywhere. With this freedom comes a greater risk of a data breach through lost or stolen devices. Symantec Endpoint Encryption combines strong full-disk and removable media encryption with centralized management to protect sensitive information and ensure regulatory compliance. Symantec provides maximum protection by encrypting each drive, sector-by-sector, ensuring that all files are encrypted. In addition to protecting laptops and desktops, Endpoint Encryption supports various types of removable media including USB drives, external hard drives, and CD/DVD/Blu-ray media. With Symantec, removable media users can access their data on any Windows or Mac system, even if encryption isn’t installed on the machine.

What do you like best about Symantec Encryption?

The fact that I have moved to another product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Encryption?

Everything. The product is hard to manage, slow, and support is almost non-existent. I don't have enough room to put into words everything that is wrong with the product. I just doesn't work correctly and has this nasty habit of breaking in ways that even Symantec can't explain(when you can get them on the phone anyway). The bundled with the cost of the application, it is just a good application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skip it. There are better products out that get the job done, most them are at teh same pricepoint or less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
