SES Enterprise testing

[Wally]

We are currently running SEP on-premises and beginning to evaluate SES Enterprise with the intent to eventually go fully to cloud management at some point in the future.   

We are looking for any advice/guidance that the community may share from those who have been through this.   We are a small shop so reliability, availablity and stability are critical to us.

Thanks.

Wally,

off my head, when you purchase the cloud license, you'd receive instructions on how to migrate with the cloud tenant respective information!

It's pretty much straight forward.

The advantages of cloud hosting are pretty obvious, of all is less admin work for your and fast consumption of newer features!

My 2 cents

Great question that I also have been meaning to ask.

Further, is the license a similar / same cost / seat?

In Australia the bandwidth of our services is deteriorating and even today, services are intermittent at 2MPBS up x 6 MBPS down, how will the cloud management cope with that availability on this pathetic .AU Internet. Thanks.

We are going through this process now with 1800 endpoints. It hasn't been too bad really. Look at the hybrid option.

Start here
Getting started with Symantec Endpoint Security

This is the meat and potatoes
Moving from Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) to Symantec Endpoint Security (SES)

Hybrid
Moving from an on-premises Symantec Endpoint Protection option to a Symantec Endpoint Security hybrid-managed option
