    I have been trying to create a SEP15 /Cloud tenant, however I am lost with the terminology that Symatec are usng for these products now.

    I've discussed this with our previous technical account rep (before the Broadcom takeover and seemigly everyone at Symatec has resigned or been sacked) and he advised that Sep15 (cloud based) was a different product to Symantec Cloud with SEPC being a SMB based solution. 

    I've created an Endpoint tenant here:  https://sep.securitycloud.symantec.com/v1/#/landing  and this dash refers to itself as "endpoint Security" yet it also mentions clients for 'Endpoint Protection" as well As "Endpoint Security".  All of the clients I have deployed so far are reporting to the dash as "Symantec Endpoint Security" clients.

    The Sep Cloud home page also seems to redirect to the same landing page.   The page at: https://sepc.securitycloud.symantec.com/app/#/landing  seems to redirect to the same dash as above once you log on

    I am finding that some of the features seem lacking compared to what I am used to with on-prem SEP14, particulary around reporting, so I want to make sure I am in the right product before I get too much further.  If I am deploying SEP15, should this be 'Endpoint Protection", "Endpoint Security"  or SEPc?

    I've asked Symantec support and they don't seem to know the difference either

     

    thanks

    SEP 15 was renamed/rebranded to Symantec Endpoint Security (SES)

    You seem to be in the right locatoin and have created the correct tenant and are correctly installing SES (was SEP 15) clients.

    SEPC last I heard would be decomissoned and everyone would eventually be moved to SES.

    Thanks John, that makes sense 

    Regarding the clients, the dash mentions both SEP and SES clients,  (all mine are SES)  Are the SEP clients still a thing or is this a carrover from the old terminology

    SEP clients could be old on-prem SEP14.x clients that have been converted to cloud managed I guess?

    Yes, it's a carried over from the old terminology - everything will be rebranded over the time.
