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."The setup is pretty simple."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The solution has good performance."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software."
"The solution detects viruses very, very fast."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"Symantec End-user Endpoint Security is a very powerful solution."
"Some of the most valuable features were antivirus, malware, and spyware. They were really good."
"It is very easy to managing everything in relation to the implementation and processing. The initial setup is very easy."
"It just works. We have a console, and I can see it at a glance. I don't have any problems with it at all."
"Scalability."
"The features I find the most valuable are the protection, the encryption, and the DLP."
"I think the key thing for me, is interoperability, in that you can deploy it to Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's been a really important feature in the last two years. Now there's one management console to cover all three OSs."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Detections 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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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 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"
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"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."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"SONAR could be improved. The false/positive rate is a little high."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"We had an issue with the Broadcom migration. We had some problems with product support, and the deployment is tricky because it's an on-premises technology. Deploying any on-premises security solution is hard because you have to distribute the software."
"In a few cases, when we enable the IPS/IDS feature, there are performance-related issues on the end devices. If we run quite a few features of Symantec, especially the IPS/IDF, it consumes a lot of processing and memory capacity."
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support."
