"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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."
"The solution offers very good security features and is comparable to Sophos."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is really easy to use, and it is secure."
"It is easy to use. Its interface is user-friendly. So, anybody can use it very well, which is a good thing."
"I have found the solution to be very scalable, we have 700 employees using the solution in our organization."
"I like the firewall and the intrusion prevention features, and just the basic anti-malware and anti-virus seems to be pretty effective as well."
"Symantec End-user Endpoint Security is a very powerful solution."

"With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection."

"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"Detections could be improved."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"When it was directly with Symantec, the technical support was perfect. After Broadcom acquired Symantec, the level of technical support dropped."
"There is room for improvement in the zero-day threat detection system."
","
"The Symantec Endpoint Manager is very difficult to use and extremely old."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"The product needs to reduce the usage of RAM and CPU."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"The complexity of advanced modules can be improved."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
