We performed a comparison between Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response and Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The solution does all that we expect it to do."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"It is very simple to use."
"The solution has great blocking features."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"I've mainly found the antivirus and antispyware features valuable. The documentation is okay as well."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"The investigation and forensic analysis have been most helpful."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"A significant deterioration in customer support."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"The interface has many issues."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"The solution’s scalability and stability could be improved."
"I think we have experienced some technical issues because the company focuses mainly on bigger clients. Also, sometimes the solution fails to detect zero-day attacks, so that feature needs some enhancement because it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
