"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The setup is pretty simple."

"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection."

It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."

"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the virtual patching it provides."
"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"

"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"The Threat Defense for Active Directory feature has a problem in that it is not possible to deploy it within a hybrid management architecture... we would have to migrate all the infrastructure to be managed by the cloud to deploy this feature, so we have not deployed it."
"The solution should include automatic updates."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"An area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be developed more because competitors have started providing EDR and XDR functionalities, but in the product, those are still missing. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be lightweight. Currently, the product is very heavy when compared to other vendors. It takes up too much space on the hard drive and the memory."
"They need to integrate the DLP with the EDR."
"Some of the updates still require a complete reboot of the system."
"While the single console offers partial end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment, we leverage additional solutions to achieve comprehensive coverage, so this area can be improved by Apex One."
