"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The application and device control are valuable features, and the live update is another one. We have a schedule to check every four hours for the live update."
"The solution detects malware very well."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."
"Great security and very user friendly."
"I like the firewall and the intrusion prevention features, and just the basic anti-malware and anti-virus seems to be pretty effective as well."
"Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes."
"It is easy to use. Its interface is user-friendly. So, anybody can use it very well, which is a good thing."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"Simple and very scalable solution that provides endpoint security and malware protection."
"Managing the dashboard is straightforward and efficient. I appreciate the convenience of accessing all alerts in one place and find configuring policies to be a simple process. Creating and deploying policies to agents is easily accomplished, and the communication between agents and servers is effectively implemented. These aspects are what I find favorable about Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise."
"The solution is very cheap."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is it runs in the backend and looks after the security for you."
"The solution works well overall."
"The solution has integrated some AI tools for the automation of tasks."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise are the proactive threat protection and the normal spyware protection which they offer in addition to catching standard threats. It all works well for us even without an EDR."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The virus definitions could be updated more frequently."
"They need to develop a multi-language interface."
"Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that."
"They lack the visibility you get in a heuristical, artificial, AI type of product, like a next-gen antivirus."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
"Overall, the price could be reduced."
"The detection and response can always be improved."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
"The solution needs to be marketed to more consumers so that they will use it."
"The product must develop some virus definition features."
"There could be a pop-up notification at the users' end whenever the software expires."
"Symantec's main priority should be enhancing their support, especially local support for different regions."
"The solution could improve its speed, threat coverage, and the tool's functionality."
"When we asked the support team to relicense the original piece, the team ghosted us."
"Though the product is good, it is not very easy to use."
"In the past, I experienced companies that protected themselves with Symantec, suffering some attacks."
