Symantec wins our Business Buy award this time around.
It's a close run thing with Kaspersky Small Office Security, but the lack of a web-based interface and email protection counts against what is an otherwise great product. Thanks to its easy-to-use web interface, stellar protection scores and reasonable price, we think Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition is the top choice for smaller firms when it comes to protecting employees' devices. It achieved an accuracy score of 832 out of a possible 846, blocking one program without asking and throwing up a pop-up on one other occasion.
If your employees take their work devices home with them or you operate a bring-your-own-device policy, they'll be happy to know that Endpoint Security isn't overbearing when it comes to the installation of legitimate software. Performance was identical, too: 99 threats were eliminated before they had a chance to gain a foothold, while the remaining one piece of malware was unfortunately allowed to run on the host PC.
Symantec's protection score of 292 out of 300 equals that of Norton Internet Security 2014 and puts it top of the small business anti-virus rankings. The software is also available on Apple devices running OS X. Reviews Product Overview Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud (SEP Cloud) is an endpoint security service offering easy to use advanced threat protection for PC, Mac, and mobile clients and servers, plus mobile device management for endpoint compliance and data protection. The Endpoint software sits quietly in the system tray, although we did notice an occasional stutter from our Windows system when opening some web pages, which suggests that less powerful machines may feel the effects of such tight security controls.
