We performed a comparison between Seqrite Endpoint Security 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."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"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 two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"It is a stable product."
"The anti-virus and firewall policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"When they started they found it very easy; not easy to implement but easy to use. We started with the headquarters here and later we also implemented it for all the subsidiaries in the region, in other countries. They have a centralized solution, so they can help other countries in management."
"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."
"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."
"The solution is easy to use"
"The product has been quite stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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"
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"User management could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It should support the next-generation IPS. Currently, it supports only IPS."
"It would be nice to be able to manage the endpoints a bit further. A valuable attribute would be the management of software inventory, software deployment, and third-party software deployment. I would like to see the ability to deploy and delete unlicensed software. Many users try to install what they shouldn't, so that would be really useful."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"I would like to see fileless attack protection."
"We must have complete dissolution with advance care protection but we are finding out that we need more Symantec technical specialists. We have identified a need to hire at least one more technical specialist familiar with Symantec to improve our solutions capabilities."
"Difficult to set up on older systems."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices."
"The stability was not the best. There were times when antivirus updates broke it. It wasn't necessarily self-updating - at least, not in terms of the virus signatures. It updated in terms of the executable files. Therefore, when Windows updates would come out, they often couldn't be installed, or the computer would hang due to the fact that the updates weren't compatible with the antivirus."
