sophisticated attacks targeting organizations of all sizes today.
These tests evaluated products in both virtual environments,
particularly highly consolidated virtual desktop infrastructure ((VDI)
environments, as well as physical environments.
Recent testing performed by Dennis Labs demonstrates that Symantec
Endpoint Protection 12 running in a VDI environment defended against
more real-world threats than comparable solutions from McAfee and Trend
Micro.

solutions in VDI environments, determining that Symantec completes an
on-demand scan in about half the time with 49 percent less disk
bandwidth when compared to solutions from McAfee and Trend Micro.
In addition, Symantec Endpoint Protection required 20 percent less
disk bandwidth when performing on-access scanning compared to Trend
Micro's agent-less DeepSecurity solution.
In real-world security tests performed by AV-Test.org in physical
environments, Symantec protected better than comparable solutions in the
market.
