We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The stability is very good."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The end-user facilities for managing the tool are good."
"The main advantage of the solution is the ability to implement complete security policies for the terminals in order to address how apps are installed on corporate devices."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint features different types of features but one of the most useful is an up-to-date and working anti-malware scanner."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"There are times when Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response tags an executable as malicious when it is trying to get executed on the machine. In this case, it prevents the execution and it gives you a process view of things where you can look into what has happened and whether it is a genuine process trying to access some system activities, or it's a malicious one. Depending upon the process, it gives you a clear identification, and we can do the containment from the interface itself and isolate the machine from the network. The process review on network isolation is good."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"The Detection vulnerability is very effective."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"IPS and the user interface are good features."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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"
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution can be made lightweight in order to keep the systems more effective during the background operations of the scanning and security checks."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"Compared to other brands, we would like a dedicated anti-spam to be included in order to close the full circle."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"Customization of UI should be a little better in terms of application UI and messages that are displayed when something is blocked or non-compliant."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"Reporting is a major issue, as it is not user friendly."
"They need to improve their cloud presence."
