What do you like best about Symantec Endpoint Management?

For our company, Symantec Patch Management Solution has the required flexibility of this product and is highly valuable. At a comparably lower cost we are able to adapt this product to our vast geography and sensitive networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Endpoint Management?

The main console is long over due for an update. It still relies on Microsoft Silverlight which is no longer supported by even Microsoft. Also technical support needs to be more on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec Endpoint Management:

This product is a very simple product to deploy and manage. The flexibility of this product allows IT to manage a great deal of PCs with a very small number of administrators.

What problems is Symantec Endpoint Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Microsoft Windows As A Service patching and update strategy is disrupting the way all non-Microsoft PC management tools operate. Each has been scrambling to produce work arounds but what we've found is that Microsoft continues to change their patching strategy which has forced us to work harder with Symantec for solutions to align with the Windows As A Service Strategy. Engage your Network team early in the design phase of implementing CMS so they can see how Altiris will minimize the amount of patch traffic on your network.

What do you dislike about Symantec Endpoint Management?

It's incredibly slow at times. When multiple users are using the console, it gets even slower. The dialog and popup boxes do not get bigger. Some lines can be very large and it can be hard to read the scripts.

We use Ghost Solutions Suite to manage upwards of 1000+ PCs on our network. We create scripts to push out applications and other stuff to lots of computers.
