"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."

"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced rate firewall protection, the URL filtering."
"Setting up Symantec is straightforward. Our DevOps team handled the installation, so I wasn't involved, but it wasn't that complicated. They are competent people with certifications in anti-virus management. They didn't need any training or help from the vendor."
"The solution's most important feature is its reliability. It is not heavy on the workstation."
"It protects emails and messages shared between users."
"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."
"In reference to zero-day attacks, we immediately get signatures from the Symantec site. That is good."

"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"The deployment of Symantec components could be improved."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"The solution's support is not available over the weekends. We also need to have the DLP, endpoint security, and encryption integrated into one agent."

"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
