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."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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"If you open up an application or a web browser, it puts a container in a sandbox area. So if there's some malicious code, it'll stick there. It also has way better protection for ransomware because it uses heuristics that are pretty effective. We've done a lot of tests with live malware, and it works really well."
"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
"The product’s valuable feature is the remote control station."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the management of end-user machines."
"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."
"With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection."
"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."
"Easy to use solution."
"It's good for large organizations. It's able to handle a lot of users."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"Endpoint Protection is the next generation. It covers antivirus, spamware, ransomware..."
"This solution has helped us because it is really useful for blocking all kinds of viruses."
"It seems to be user-friendly. Our users seem to like it for the most part."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 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 are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."
"Would be good to have a better understanding of what it is that you've got in quarantine."
"There could be MDRM features added to the product."
"The detection and response can always be improved."
"If Symantec wants to improve, they should have a single event for all their products."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"Reporting in this solution needs improvement."
"The Sandboxing and ATP functionality does not integrate very well, improving this would be helpful."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
