Webroot vs. Symantec: Endpoint security software comparison
Summary
Nothing frustrates users more than a ham-handed security tool that causes them to jump through hoops to engage in legitimate efforts or makes them feel spied upon or even falsely accused. Symantec Endpoint Protection now includes the following features: • Device and application control (such as restricting USB drive access). It heralds these advantages: • Clients for Windows, Apple and Android (including tablets and mobile devices) as well as Chromebooks. Based on typical organizational requirements, I would deploy Symantec to traditional large-scale businesses with a scalable set of end user Windows and Apple workstations that operate under predictable, generally similar conditions. It’s also stronger in the anti-phishing capability, but in either case user education on not clicking unknown or suspicious links will always be a valuable endeavor.
