"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
"It is easy to use, flexible, and stable. Because it is a cloud-based solution and it integrates all endpoints of the cloud, we can do an IOC-based search. It can search the entire enterprise and tell us the endpoints that are possibly compromised."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."

"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Detections could be improved."
"The spam filter is something that you can't control, and you can't set the filter to intercept different types of emails."

"The support from Symantec has been poor in my experience. They did not have the knowledge to help us with the issues we were facing."
"There is no local support for Symantec products in Hong Kong."
"Automation of tasks should be improved on SEPM. It is currently manual, and we should be able to automate installation and deployment from the client side."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
"The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"So far, McAfee MVISION Endpoint ticks off all of our boxes, but its pricing could always be better."
