Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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"
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The stability is very good."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"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."
"Helps to protect our organization from known attacks."
"The solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"We use the Symantec Global Intelligence Network (GIN), and it's an excellent feature as Symantec is a leader in security solutions. The product has all the security features we require as an organization, including intelligent features such as notification alerts and predicting future attacks. The threat intelligence and detection are excellent, and the solution provides great visuals and logs so that we can analyze any attacks on our servers. GIN is a powerful tool in terms of detection capability across endpoints, email, and web traffic, as it can scan them with its advanced threat intelligence. The product can detect threats, report them to us, and quarantine them."
"The firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"The overall solution is good, particularly the detection engine. It performs well in identifying malware and conducting regular network scans. The product is easy to use."
"The primary feature of the solution is antivirus scanning with IPS. It blocks viruses and uses a signature database, ensuring robust protection when configured correctly to meet our requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is the application. Additionally, they are adding features frequently."
"The support from Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is good, they have a quick response time."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise is it runs in the backend and looks after the security for you."
"The solution is very cheap."
"Device Control is very user-friendly."
"The solution is useful for endpoint protection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"I would like to see even more customization, the possibility to do whitelisting. It needs to be a little bit more liberal on whitelisting, even to use the name if needed, instead of hashes."
"We are not satisfied with this solution. It needs a lot of improvements. It doesn't detect the most recent malware and unknown threats. With most of the users working from home these days, there is also a need for some extra security layer. That's why we are thinking of going for a better solution that will take care of all of our endpoints and work from home situation. Symantec also has to work on EDI technology. Vendors like Palo Alto and Cisco are coming with their own intelligence and cloud infrastructure in which unknown threats are regularly watched and monitored, and they are reported to the admin."
"Symantec needs to develop some reporting features and notifications. For instance, if the server is not on or it's shut down. There should also be time-based USB control."
"Any external device which is inserted into a computer should be subject to an auto-scan policy, to automatically scan it before accepting the device... They need to make it more user-friendly, so that when anyone puts in a USB stick it will be scanned, popping up any problems before it is used."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"When it was directly with Symantec, the technical support was perfect. After Broadcom acquired Symantec, the level of technical support dropped."
"The overall quality of the product needs to be improved because with the last session we had several issues with new versions. Also, the solution needs better protections."
"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
"I believe an improvement could be made in Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise by incorporating a URL blocking feature within the same product. Currently, it requires a separate subscription and agent installation, which I think could be more streamlined for unified management from a single agent."
"The solution's management dashboard could be improved. An easier-to-use threat-hunting dashboard would make life easier for security analysts. Its support needs to improve for the African region."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Enterprise should focus on cloud security with Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS rather than having their standard solution."
"I have contacted support and the speed of resolution could be faster."
"The solution's browser protection in Chrome needs to be improved, as it's the most troublesome aspect of the tool. I have two devices where the browser protection failed, an issue that has yet to be fixed for two months. When updates occur, the client restarts, and the browser protection for Chrome malfunctions. Broadcom needs to improve their ability to hijack a browser session to filter web traffic because that's important, as well as site blocking. This element is missing in the product; most companies have firewalls with web content filtering to prevent employees from accessing specific sites."
"Symantec should revamp its graphical user interface."
"The product is a bit resource-intensive."
"Though the product is good, it is not very easy to use."
