Each product is compared against the best Endpoint Protection to create a holistic, unbiased view of the product landscape. Data is collected from real users, meticulously verified, and visualized in easy-to-understand charts and graphs. However, occasional delays when connecting to Symantec’s cloud services meant that Kaspersky Small Office Security was more reliable and more accurate in our tests, as well as having a wider range of features.The Data Quadrant Buyer's Guide provides a comprehensive evaluation of the top software in the Endpoint Protection market. Symantec Endpoint Protection doesn’t have all the features of some of its rivals, but it has a great web interface and – at £80 ex VAT for 5 licences – doesn’t cost too much. This indicates that it’s much less oversensitive to potential threats than many of its small business oriented rivals. It was only compromised in two instances and also performed well in our false positive test, blocking just two of our benign programs. However, with an overall protection score of 98, Symantec Endpoint Protection provides excellent defence against malicious software. At times, we experienced delays both when attempting to access parts of the web interface, including the all-important policies configuration screen, and when the clients' scanners were analysing malicious programs by sending back information to the Symantec cloud. There is a downside to Symantec's cloud-based service.
