We performed a comparison between Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection and Symantec Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The stability is very good."
"It's user-friendly, compatible, and accessible."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point."
"With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"The most useful features are the antivirus, anti-spyware, and the firewall feature. It also provides application control and Host Integrity, which is a very unique feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Its response time is the most valuable. It is very quick."
"The feature I find most useful is the console for reporting."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"They need to enhance the performance of the agents. Currently, the performance is going low when the agent starts a full scan. The agent is consuming a lot of resources while scanning. When there are a lot of documents to check, it slows down the endpoint. This is the only thing that worries me about Comodo, but this issue is also there in other products. It is missing DLP, and I know that they are working on adding some data loss prevention capabilities. They have added some capabilities, but these capabilities are not yet mature. I hope they will enhance these capabilities because it is important to prevent the data from going out from inside. We are protected from the outside, but we also have to be protected from the inside out."
"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"They provide the updates of the client, and those clients need a reboot after the upgrade, which is something we don't like. We don't like to reboot the server after the upgrade because we have live applications. If we do a reboot, it can impact the business as well."
","
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"Installation of the tool on a workstation requires some technical knowledge, which could be more straightforward."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"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 monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
"I think the CPU dependence should be enhanced."
