> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 September 2021* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Since classical antivirus solutions are no longer capable of catching new threats, we actively use symantec edr product to make the computers of our end users more secure.  The user interface is simple and easy.
> 
> **Cons**: Compared to other edr solutions, it does not provide enough flexibility on some issues.  For example, we can't get detail information via api or it doesn't allow to define a new custom rule.

### "Symantec tried to level up" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *05 August 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Symantec integrates well with other applications of Symantec suite like DLP, SEP, etc which makes it very easy to deploy and maintain
> 
> **Cons**: Symantec EDR is still in its early phases of development. When compared to its competition like Crowdstrike EDR, symantec lies far behind. Crowdstrike does much better job in custom policy creation, zero-touch software upgrade and even RTR into the machine
> 
> Overall, Symantec does offer some good insights into EDR solution but for now, lags behind its competitors.
