hi,
Sorry if this is a basic question. Buts its getting hard to understand from website and its difficult to interact with sales reps directly without having a decent understanding.
As the title says, I am a bit unclear about the difference between the two. We had license for Endpoint Protection (not the cloud) and it is about to expire. Our requirement is simple
- We have a mix of Windows professional (not server), Mac and Ubuntu 14.04 laptops.
- We need an antivirus to be running on all of them
- We need ways to disable USB ports, cd-drives etc
I glanced at https://www.symantec.com/content/dam/symantec/docs/data-sheets/endpoint-protection-14-en.pdf and https://www.symantec.com/content/dam/symantec/docs/data-sheets/endpoint-protection-cloud-en.pdf and sorry to say but got more confused. The cloud version does not include Ubuntu in supported OS whereas non-cloud version has Ubuntu. I was assuming cloud is the later version and will have everything.
Could you please advise on what to go with if the above is the need? I also assume there will be some central console running on a server through which we can manage individual end-points. Again someone told me the central console is possible only in cloud version (could be wrong)
Thanks,
Vikram
